Sylvie Bailly

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sylvie Bailly (born February 11, 1960 in Barbezieux ) is a former French soccer player .

Club career

Sylvie Bailly played in the first team of FC Limoges when she was 15 - not uncommon in the "early days" of women's football - and she even became a national player at this age (see below) . In 1977 she joined ASJ Soyaux , which had the largest women's division in the Poitou-Charentes region , and three years later the left winger and her teammates reached a final for the national championship for the first time , in which Soyaux, however, played against Stade Reims , the "series women champion" of those years, with 0: 2 defeated.

Immediately afterwards, she moved to the southwestern French league rivals of ASPTT Bordeaux ; with the " post athletes " from Bordeaux , however, she failed to participate again in the national championship finals. From January 1982 Sylvie Bailly again represented the colors of the ASJ Soyaux, with which she then succeeded in winning the French championship in 1984. In the final, won 1-0 against VGA Saint-Maur , she remained, as in 1980, without a goal of her own. When ASJ Soyaux was again in the final of the French championship in 1986 and 1987, Bailly was no longer part of their final eleven because the mid-twenties had already ended her sporting activities by that time.

In the national team

In November 1975, France's women's national coach Pierre Geoffroy put the 15-year-old in a friendship meeting with the Netherlands for the first time in the French A-selection . After this debut, however, it took two and a half years before Sylvie Bailly was reappointed and was regularly considered by Geoffroy's successor Francis Coché in the following years . The striker scored her only goal in the blue national jersey in March 1980 in a 4-0 victory over Switzerland .

In her 21st international match in April 1983, a 3-0 loss to Italy in the preliminary round of the first women's European championship , she had to vacate her place for her club mate Florence Rimbault after half an hour due to injury ; this also meant the end of her international career. After all, Sylvie Bailly was only the third French woman, after Marie-Louise Butzig and Michèle Wolf , to make 20 international matches.
