Excerpt: Louisa Necib (born 23 January 1987) is a French women's international footballer who plays for French club Olympique Lyonnais of the Division 1 Feminine. She plays as a central attacking midfielder and is described as a "gifted playmaker" who "possesses superb technique." Necib is also known for her "elegant possession, sublime passing skills, and cultured touch on the ball." She has been labeled by the French media as "the female Zidane," primarily due to having an Algerian background, growing up in Marseille like Zidane, and having immense skill. Necib began her football career playing for local youth clubs in her hometown of Marseille, such as Union Sportive Marseille and Celtic de Marseille. With the latter club, she made her senior team debut in 2003 and, in the following season, helped the club win the Division 3 Feminine. In 2004, Necib was selected to attend CNFE Clairefontaine, the women's section of the Clairefontaine academy. She spent two years at the training center, and in 2006, departed for Montpellier of the Division 1 Feminine. In her only season with Montpellier, Necib helped the team win the 2006 07 edition of the Challenge de France. After departing Montpellier, she joined Lyon. Since joining the club, Necib has won a slew of trophies, which include four league titles, one Challenge de France, and one UEFA Women's Champions League title. For her performances during the 2008 09 season, she was named the National Union of Professional Footballers (UNFP) Female Player of the Year. Necib is a former French women's youth international having represented her nation at all levels for which she was eligible. At under-19 level, she played on the teams that reached the 2004 and 2005 editions of the UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship. With the under-20 team, Necib played at the 2006 FIFA U-20 Women's World Championship scoring a goal in the group stage against Argentina as France reached the quarter-finals.
