The 24-year-old French player reconciles two professional projects. The Blue attacker is also an engineer and holds a part-time position as a business developer in a large industrial group, still in the sports market. A way for the champion to encourage sportswomen to engage in other careers.
Qualified in the semi-finals, Les Bleues will face Germany this Wednesday at 9 p.m. The opportunity to take an interest in the players who make up our team. Among them: Clara Mateo. When she’s not in the field, the champion is an engineer.
“Personal Balance”
Clara Matéo is the head and the legs. The legs, since the native of Nantes achieves a high-flying Euro. The head, because for more than two years, the international player has divided her time between the football pitches and her work as an engineer. “It was really a wish on my part for my personal balance to always be able to reconcile the two. Afterwards, I was also lucky to be at Paris FC. It’s a club that advocates the double project, so that allowed me to be fulfilled in my professional life and in football,” she explains to FFF TV.
Clara Matéo was hired by a large industrial group which also sponsors the women’s division 1. This graduate of the University of Paris-Saclay holds a part-time position as a business developer in the sports market. Much to the satisfaction of his employer. “She has an efficiency in her work which is equivalent to that which she has in the field. She is someone who goes fast”, recognizes Arkema’s communications director, Gilles Galinier. “She has an ability to make the right decisions at the right time. These are all the qualities that she brings to her job.”
And the 24-year-old football engineer hopes her journey will inspire other sportswomen to get involved both on the pitch and in professional life.
