Clara Mateo: Paris FC Contract Extension to 2029

Three more years at Paris FC for Clara Mateo! The 28-year-old striker, who arrived in 2016 from La Roche-sur-Yon, is continuing the adventure with the capital club until 2029, we learned this Thursday, January 8.

Crowned best player in Arkema Premier League at the end of the 2024-2025 season, Clara Mateo immediately won her first major trophy with Paris FC by beating Paris Saint-Germain in the final of the Coupe de France. Scorer for the French team (44 caps in total, 6 goals during the 2024-2025 financial year), the Parisian striker born in Nantes, also a qualified engineer, ranked 27th in the 2025 Ballon d’or.

“Clara is a major player in our project,” explains Gaëtane Thiney, sports director of the women’s section of Paris FC. (…) This extension until 2029 symbolizes the continuity and collective ambition that we have for the seasons to come. »

With the French international in its ranks, the capital club hopes to “build a team capable of establishing itself permanently among the best, in France and in Europe”. This Wednesday, he had already announced the extension of Melween N’Dongala (7 selections), also until 2029.

Qualified for the Champions League play-offs, Paris FC will face Real Madrid – on February 11 for the first leg at home, on February 18 for the return leg – and are aiming for a place in the quarter-finals of the competition.
