The best player (Golden Ball) of the 2024 Concacaf U-17 tournament, Lurdjina Étienne is thus making part of her dreams come true by signing her first professional contract with a European club, FC Fleury. She has signed through 2027. In doing so, the young lioness crosses the Atlantic and joins the Floriacumoise adventure with “ambition and desire,” to quote the words of FC Fleury’s management.

“This is my first club, I’m happy to sign with FC Fleury, and I’d really like to be among the best,” she said in her first statements to the press.
