Arriving in 2020 on the Rock from Corsica, Lisandru Olmeta climbed the steps leading to the highest level one by one, whether with Monaco or in the young categories of the French team. It was he who took France to the title of European Champion in the U17 category, notably stopping a shot on goal during the quarter-final against Germany (1-1, 4 tab to 3), then in the half against Portugal (2-2, 6 tab to 5). At the end of his contract at the end of last season, Pascal Olmeta’s son decided to leave the Rock to take charge of the North of France and more precisely of LOSC. “It’s a source of immense pride. I am moved to sign for a club like LOSC. I’m hungry, I’m super excited to start in this jersey. LOSC showed me all its confidence, I felt very good from the first contacts. My goals ? To give everything. Be the best possible for the collective. Bring to the team and then reach the high level I hope. With LOSC »he explained when he signed last summer.

A nice blow for Lille who snatched one of the best goalkeepers of his generation at a lower cost. Arriving with a scaphoid injury in Lille, Olmeta carried out a solid preparation without a ball and took advantage of his unavailability for the traditional period of adaptation to the club and the region, not hesitating to come and encourage his teammates each day of championship, which was greatly appreciated internally and which favored and accelerated its adaptation in the North. Returning to training in October, he took his first steps in U19 against QPR at the end of October with a clean sheet (2-0) before joining the National 3 where he continued regularly with 8 appearances with the reserves Lille.

Notable performances with the LOSC reserve
Grégory Wimbée is also an important factor in Olmeta’s good adaptation to Lille. The former professional goalkeeper, who greatly helped Lucas Chevalier to become the goalkeeper he is today, works daily with the U17 European champion who trains regularly with the club’s goalkeepers, starting with the holder in the France Espoirs team, but also Vito Mannone and Adam Jakubech. Olivier Letang, who was one of the instigators of his coming to Lille, knights the young goalkeeper, mixing kindness and high standards. And the results are there since Olmeta, who made a bench with the pros in December against Clermont, impresses and has only conceded one goal in 2024 in the 5 matches he has played. Facing Compiègne in National 3, the LOSC reserve won 3-1 but could have experienced great disappointment without an incredible save from Olmeta while the score was still 0-0.

These performances could open the doors to the French U19 team, which will compete at the end of the month in qualifying for the Euro U19 with matches scheduled against England, Belgium and Lithuania. But until then, Pascal’s son will have to continue to work hard in the North with the objective of gradually rising in the hierarchy of LOSC goalkeepers. This is what was agreed upon when he arrived in Lille last summer. For the moment, Lisandru Olmeta is in passing times…
