Pauline Peyraud-Magnin Quotes (1992-)

“I think nowadays it’s essential to be present on social media, to promote women’s football and show the positive aspects of it.”

“I had to take a step down to get back onto the road that’s taken me to where I am today. Never giving up is something that is part of who I am.”

“And something else that may seem a small detail, but has made a big difference, is that we now have jerseys and shorts that are designed for us and are not tailored specifically for men. For me this has been a revolution, as has having our names on the back of our jerseys.”
