Michele Kang’s calendar fills up quickly. In February 2024, the American officially became the owner of OL women. A month later, we found her at the White House alongside President Joe Biden, signatory of an executive order for funds allocated to research into women’s health. Capable in the meantime of managing her company or meeting a delegation of French sports journalists, the billionaire is active on all fronts to get closer to her sole objective: that women finally become the equal of men.
In a world of football dominated by men for more than a century, the work promises to be insane. Saturday May 25, its Olympique Lyonnais lost in the final of the Champions League against Barcelona (2-0) in (almost) general anonymity on French soil due to a lack of broadcast on a public channel. A total incomprehension for Michele Kang, born in South Korea in June 1959, who became an American citizen through her studies between Chicago and the prestigious Yale University.
