What a great player will come to Coapa! The Frenchwoman Kheira Hamraoui, who comes from Paris Saint-Germain and has a very successful past with FC Barcelona and Olympique Lyon, will play with América in the Liga MX Femenil from this Apertura 2023, although 11 rounds have already been played.
While waiting for the Águilas to play the National Classic against Chivas this Sunday at the Azteca Stadium on matchday 11 of the Women’s Championship, Hamraoui’s signing at América has been confirmed, which means the arrival of a three-time UEFA Women’s Champions League winner, twice with Lyon and again with Barça.
FMF confirms Hamraoui’s commitment to America
The portal of the Mexican Football Federation officially announces the signing of the French midfielder by the Azulcremas of Coapa, who have not yet officially announced it, but her inclusion is a fact considering the final stages of the tournament and the Liguilla.
Who is Kheira Hamraoui?
With a history with the French national team during the 2015 World Cup and the 2016 Rio Olympics, Hamraoui will partner Spain’s Andrea Pereira, with whom she met in Barcelona and where they won virtually every title that came their way. Of note are the First Division twice, the Queen’s Cup twice and the Women’s Super Cup once.
Hamraoui, now 33, made headlines a few years ago when he was the target of a deliberate attack. Two men hit her legs with steel bars. Initially there was talk of a problem with a teammate at PSG, but later the line of a possible problem was revealed due to her previous relationship with Eric Abidal, a former Barça footballer.
“I will never forget the night of November 4, 2021. She haunts me day and night. This dark night that turned my personal and professional life, my life as a woman and as a footballer, upside down. “That night, when I thought I was going to die, two hooded men forced me out of the vehicle,” Today’s Americanist published in September 2022.
“They beat me with an iron pipe, mainly targeting the lower part of my body. That night their goal was simple: to use extreme violence to take away my work equipment, break my legs and end my career.”
