[THREAD: MOST SUCCESSFUL WOMEN’S TEAM]

This is based upon facts and read watch which I concluded everything from. As many fans, who are popular with women’s teams, know that Olympique Lyonnais Féminin is the absolute powerhouse.

Many players want to join purely because of the name and it is an honour to be chosen to play for this club, no sales pitch necessary.

Currently, in the women’s football European team rankings Olympique Lyonnais Féminin stands first with 800 points to their name.

The ranking has been updated as of 16 December 2020, Wolfsburg stands second with 237 points away from OL.

There is no explanation as to how Lyon is such a powerhouse, but the players and facilities plus the president might have something to do with it.

Lyon treats their men and women the same from very young, when they’re in the academy to the senior team. Therefore, the women’s and men’s teams share everything everything including fields, medical staff, liaison officers, and more.

Many choose to play for OL because the club offers a fast track for self-improvement. Not only that, but also many notable players have played for OL such as Camille Abily, Louisa Nécib (both are retired French players), Megan Rapinoe and Alex Morgan.

There are currently notable players playing for the club as well, such as Dszenifer Marozsán, the captain of the French national team, Saki Kumagi, the captain of the Japanese national team.

However, most notable is Ada Hegerberg, the first Ballon D’Or Féminin winner and player for Norway.

The players are not the only highlights of the team, however, their titles play a role in their everlasting success.

Lyon has won the French national title for 14 years straight, won the Champions League seven times, and have made it to nine of the past 11 CL finals and won the last 5.

Though this is unnerving success, the reason that this club might be attractive to players as well is that, it is believed to pay considerably more than other clubs.

It is thought to be believed that the majority of players start on six-figure salaries, and it is thought that Hegerberg earns about $470,000 a year.

With their success, facilities, and celebrations Olympique Lyonnais is for sure the most decorated club in women’s football.

Lyon attracts players because of the names they have and how they are able to treat the men’s and women’s team the same, regardless of success.
