The Football Club Seynois, under the leadership of Ibrahim Gueye, is actively developing its women's section, welcoming 70 registered players from youth categories up to U16s, with the ambition to make women's football a major focus of its project.

The U15 teams hold a central position in this strategy, competing in 11-a-side football within a mixed league, a rare setup with only three clubs participating. The primary goal is to allow young female players to enjoy the sport while engaging in a serious and developmental competition.
This sports and educational project aims to foster inclusivity and ensure young girls find their rightful place in football. This initiative aligns with the growing enthusiasm for women's football, boosted by increased media coverage.
Gérard Braquet, the sporting director, emphasizes the importance of sustaining these women's teams and attracting new players. The club is committed to providing accessible football opportunities close to home for the young girls of La Seyne-sur-Mer.
Through this proactive policy, the Football Club Seynois aims to significantly contribute to the development of women's football in the region and empower young players to pursue their passion within their own city.
