Just like their male colleagues concerned, the female footballers learned this Tuesday who were the thirty of them selected for the 2026 Ballon d’Or. Wendie Renard joined this restricted circle and was entitled to congratulations from many players. On the other hand, the French Football Federation (FFF) has forgotten it. A lack of taste from the point of view of the OL Lyonnes player and she wanted to make it known.
On her social networks, the former captain of the France team pointed out this oversight experienced as an offense. And she took advantage of the message sent by her ex-teammate at Les Bleues, Eugénie Le Sommer, who wrote to her:
“Because some people forgot to congratulate you…”all accompanied by clapping hands.
Enough to lead to this famous vitriolic publication, from Wendie Renard. “Thank you Eugé. Obviously, wearing the French team jersey for all these years is no longer enough to be considered French when the time comes for congratulations. But hey… Proud of this sixth nomination for the Ballon d’Or. »
Wendie Renard would have liked more consideration
Dismissed from the French team some time after the arrival of Laurent Bonadei as coach, Wendie Renard has not worn the blue jersey since her last selection against Iceland on February 25, 2025, during a Nations League match won by France (3-2).
The Tricolore had a rather bad experience with the way in which the end of its history with the national team had been recorded, having played 168 matches and scored 39 goals in the blue jersey.
