Now a starter in her Los Angeles club, Amandine Henry is preparing a final decisive meeting in the United States championship in order to secure a participation in the playoffs.

After her return to the French women’s team with two Nations League matches won against Portugal and Austria last month, Amandine Henry returned to Angel City FC and made two starts. The Californian team obtained a precious victory on the field of the Houston Dash (1-2) last Sunday, and is starting to dream again.

Before the last day of the regular season of the United States championship, Angel City is 8th in the standings, but with two points less than North Carolina, Gotham and Washington, respectively 3rd, 4th and 5th, and with one unit less than ‘OL Reign, 6th. The top six will advance to the NWSL Finals, with the top two in the standings sent straight to the semi-finals.

On Sunday, Henry and his Californian teammates can secure the playoffs in the last match and the reception of the Portland Thorns, leaders in the standings and already assured of the last four. When the former OL star player was signed last June, Angel City was 10th in the standings (out of 12). Moving up the rankings to the playoffs would be a great success.
