NOEL LE GRAËT, PRESIDENT OF THE FFF:

"The distribution of the Arkema D1 in the United States, England, Germany and Italy indicates the growing appeal of the French women's football championship, represented notably by Lyon, European Champion for the seventh time. This three-year contract will allow us to broadcast one live match per day. This demonstrates the significant development and influence of D1 Arkema, the clubs and, more generally, French women's football".
