Pierre Geoffroy helped found the club Stade de Reims Féminines.[7]
Stade de Reims was one of the championship's leading teams during its first years, winning five titles between 1975 and 1982.[8][9][10]
In 1973 Stade de Reims did a tour of Ireland and played a number of matches around the country. They played local teams and had one match against an Irish Selection. They signed Anne O'Brien afterwards making them the first non-Irish team to sign an Irish player, and they wanted to sign other players as well.
Some players did not sign because they were under 18 and their parents did not want them to move, and others were never told of the opportunity.[6]
The team subsequently declined throughout the 1980s, but is currently playing in Division 1 Féminine (D1F).
Note: Flags indicate national team as defined under FIFA eligibility rules. Players may hold more than one non-FIFA nationality.
