Bompastor prendra sa retraite après OL-ASSE
Capitaine emblématique de l’équipe féminine de l’Olympique Lyonnais, Sonia Bompastor a annoncé à la veille de la finale de la Coupe de France contre l’AS Saint-Etienne, que ce derby, qui aura lieu à Clermont-Ferrand, sera le dernier match de sa carrière. Âgée de 32 ans, Bompastor a tout gagné avec l’OL et compte également 156 sélections en équipe de France.
« Ça fait pas mal de temps que j’y réfléchis, ma décision a été longuement mûrie. Je me suis posé beaucoup de questions cet hiver, et au fil des mois je me suis dit que c’était le bon moment. En terme de carrière et de palmarès, j’ai fait le tour de tout ce que je pouvais gagner, et j’ai aussi eu la chance de vivre une expérience de deux ans aux États-Unis qui m’a énormément apporté. En tant que femme, j’ai aussi d’autres objectifs, notamment celui de fonder une famille », a confié, sur le site de l’Olympique Lyonnais, Sonia Bompastor, qui aimerait évidemment s’offrir un dernier trophée avant de ranger ses crampons.

Lyon and France stalwart Bompastor bows outArticle by UEFA.com
Former French international Sonia Bompastor will retire from football after captaining Olympique Lyonnais on her 33rd birthday in Saturday’s French Women’s Cup final against AS Saint-Étienne in Clermont-Ferrand.
The defender, winner of eight French titles and two UEFA Women’s Champions Leagues, made the announcement on Friday having been considered one of the top women’s players in the world for a decade. “I asked many questions this winter and over the months I figured it was a good time [to stop],” she said.
Bompastor began her career with La Roche ESOF before a 2002 switch to Montpellier Hérault SC. She helped them to the title in 2003/04 and 2004/05, the next season winning the French Cup and reaching the UEFA Women’s Cup semi-finals.
She moved to Lyon in 2006, aiding them to three titles in a row and a double in 2007/08, before a 2009 move to Washington Freedom. In both her seasons in the United States she made the league’s all-star team either side of a winter loan to Paris Saint-Germain FC.
Back at Lyon in 2010/11 under her former Montpellier coach Patrice Lair, Bompastor has added three more French titles and lifted the UEFA Women’s Champions League trophy in 2011 and 2012, beaten in last month’s final by VfL Wolfsburg. A win tomorrow would complete her third domestic double at Lyon after 2007/08 and 2011/12.
At international level, Bompastor won 156 caps between 2000 and last year, scoring 18 goals. She played at three UEFA European Women’s Championships and two FIFA Women’s World Cups, voted into the all-star team in 2011 when France finished fourth.
“In terms of career and track record, I’ve won all that I could win, and I also had the chance to experience two years in the United States, which brought me a lot,” Bompastor said. “As a woman, I have other goals such as starting a family.”](http://25.media.tumblr.com/1c24ec26a442fbbda4affae35a1740ca/tumblr_mo18yzORzq1riv9joo1_500.jpg)
