Lilas Traïkia (born August 6, 1985 in Lavaur ), occasionally also Lilas Traika , is a former French soccer player .

Club career

Lilas Traïkia started playing football as a little girl at two amateur clubs from her home region. She developed so strongly that the neighboring first division partner Toulouse OAC , at that time the reigning French women's champion, brought the not yet 15-year-old to him and occasionally used the striker in his first womanhood. Traïkia was able to call herself French champion just twelve months later . After winning the title, the TOAC women's football department switched to the financially stronger local rival TFC (usually also called Téfécé in France ), whose purple colors the 16-year-old attacker also represented - with great success, because at the end of the 2001/02 season , Toulouse's players not only had that Defended the championship title, but also prevailed in the national cup competition (Challenge de France) , which was played for the first time , and was the first team in French women's football history to win the doublé . The share of Lilas Traïkia, who also became a youth national team player at this time (see below) , in these titles can be seen in her goals: she scored of the 80 TFC goals (in the league phase and the subsequent championship round) ten, and in the cup final against FC Lyon (final score 2-1) it was she who put her team on the road to success with the 1-0 opening goal. In this season's European Cup she did not score, but was considered in six of the seven games up to the semifinals, alongside national players such as Anne Zenoni , Sabrina Viguier , Gaëlle Blouin , Élodie Woock and Mélanie Briche .

In the following two years, the TFC missed more championship titles in the championship round at the end of the season, although Toulouse's women had led the table after the regular points round, and both times were only fourth. Even in the cup competition, they were always eliminated before the final. Traïkia personally finished fourth in the league chasing list in 2003/04 with 14 and again in 2005/06 with twelve goals, and in the 2002/03 European Cup she had just as many hits in five appearances - only five other footballers had netted more often. In addition, at the beginning of 2006 she had also become a national team player.

Nevertheless, she left Toulouse in the summer of 2006 at the age of 20 for personal reasons and joined the ASPTT Albi . Their women's team only played in the third division at the time, but rose to the second division in 2007 with Lilas Traïkia and Anne Zenoni . Except for the 2008/09 season, when she was only considered in two competitive games, she was a regular player there and scored a remarkable 72 goals in 79 league appearances by 2012. When Toulouse FC, which was also second-rate in the meantime, returned to the first division for the 2012/13 season , Traïkia followed the call of his coach Soraya Belkadi and played 18 of the 22 point games, scoring six of the club's 17 goals. After the immediate relegation of Téfécé , the 1.67 m tall attacker moved in 2013 for the first time in her career to a club outside the city triangle Castres - Albi - Toulouse and joined the first division club Juvisy FCF . There she was only a supplementary player in the following three years with only 18 stakes and six goals. In 2016 she moved to the neighboring second division club FCF Val d'Orge , with whom she returned to the first division a year later. In addition, the women's club had joined Fleury FC , but Lilas Traïkia was only occasionally considered as a substitute. In 2018 she therefore ended her long career - after a one-year break, she declared her "resignation", played for the second division FF Issy in the 2019/20 season and announced the end of her career again after its promotion to Division 1.

In the national team

Lilas Traïkia, who had never been seen by the national youth coaches before, joined the French A youth selection in 2001/02, although she was still eligible to play for the B youth at the time. With the U-19s she took part in the 2002 European Championship in Sweden , where the French lost to their German counterparts in the final, in which the striker was substituted on ten minutes before the final whistle. As a result, France had qualified for the U-19 World Cup, which was held in Canada in late summer of the same year , and Traïkia was the only player born in 1985 in the French squad for it . As the worst third in the group, however, this World Cup was over for coach Bruno Bini's players after the preliminary round.
The following year, France won the U-19 European Championship in Germany . Lilas Traïkia played all five games there and her only goal was to make it 2-0 in the final against Norway.

After this highly acclaimed victory in France - this was the first continental title that a French women's team had ever been able to win - it was more than two years before they were allowed to play again in the national dress. Between November 2005 and March 2006, she came to four appearances in the U-21 team, with the attacker remaining goalless; and in January 2006 the coach Élisabeth Loisel helped her against Norway to her debut in the national team . This was followed by another 21-month international break this time due to the move to Albi in the third division. However, Loisel's successor and ex-U-19 coach Bruno Bini had her observed there and brought her back to the A-Eleven in October 2007. In a friendly against the Netherlands and two European Championship qualifiers against Serbia and Slovenia , she was even in the starting line-up, and she also scored a goal against the Serbians. After a fifth appearance against Italy in January 2008, Bini no longer resorted to Lilas Traïkia, but also preferred players from top division clubs in the attack of the Bleues .
