**Wendeleine Thérèse Renard** (born 20 July 1990) is a French professional [footballer](/source/Association_football) who plays as a [centre-back](/source/Centre-back) for [Première Ligue](/source/Premi%C3%A8re_Ligue) club [Lyon](/source/Olympique_Lyonnais_F%C3%A9minin) and the [France national team](/source/France_women's_national_football_team).

Renard is one of the most decorated players in modern women's club football. She has won a record 18 [French league](/source/Premi%C3%A8re_Ligue) titles and eight [European Cups](/source/UEFA_Women's_Champions_League). In 2019, the *[New York Times](/source/The_New_York_Times)* described her as an "institution" at Lyon, the most successful club in European [women's football](/source/Women's_association_football).[3]

## Early life

Renard was born in [Schœlcher](/source/Sch%C5%93lcher) in [Martinique](/source/Martinique), a French island in the [Lesser Antilles](/source/Lesser_Antilles).[2] She is the youngest of 4 daughters. Her father died of lung cancer when she was eight years old.[4] Prior to moving to the [mainland](/source/Metropolitan_France), Renard played for [Essor-Préchotain](/source/Essor-Pr%C3%A9chotain) on her home island.

When she was 15, Renard flew to mainland France for a trial at [Clairefontaine](/source/INF_Clairefontaine) but was not accepted into the national training program.[4] She subsequently took the train to [Lyon](/source/Lyon) and, after a more successful trial, landed a spot with [Lyon](/source/Olympique_Lyonnais_F%C3%A9minin). She left Martinique to permanently live in Lyon at the age of sixteen.[4]

## Club career

Renard made her debut at L'Essor Préchotin at the age of seven and then played for Rapid Club Le Lorrain.[5] In 2006, Farid Benstiti, then coach of Olympique Lyon, brought Wendie Renard into the club's youth center and used the 16-year-old in two league games in the top league at the end of the same season. Three months later she was called up to the youth national team for the first time.

Renard joined [Lyon](/source/Olympique_Lyonnais_F%C3%A9minin) in 2006 and, since the 2007–08 season, has been a regular within the starting eleven winning fourteen consecutive league titles from 2006 to 2020, as well numerous [Challenge de France](/source/Challenge_de_France) trophies. In 2010, Renard featured in [the final match](/source/UEFA_Women's_Champions_League_2009%E2%80%9310#Final) of the [UEFA Women's Champions League](/source/UEFA_Women's_Champions_League) and, in the [2010–11 edition](/source/2010%E2%80%9311_UEFA_Women's_Champions_League), helped Lyon win the competition. She scored the opening goal in a 2–0 win over [Turbine Potsdam](/source/1._FFC_Turbine_Potsdam) in [the final](/source/2011_UEFA_Women's_Champions_League_Final).

On 26 August 2020, she scored the winning goal in a 1–0 win against [Paris Saint-Germain](/source/Paris_Saint-Germain_F%C3%A9minine) in the [2019–20 UEFA Women's Champions League](/source/2019%E2%80%9320_UEFA_Women's_Champions_League) semi-finals,[6] to eventually win the competition for the seventh time in her career.

## International career

Renard is a former youth international having played at under-19 and under-20 level. She made her debut for the [France national team](/source/France_women's_national_football_team) at the [2011 Cyprus Cup](/source/2011_Cyprus_Cup) in a match against [Switzerland](/source/Switzerland_women's_national_football_team). Renard has since represented France in two [FIFA World Cups](/source/FIFA_Women's_World_Cup) and two [Olympics](/source/Football_at_the_Summer_Olympics), and was the team [captain](/source/Captain_(association_football)) from September 2013.[7] She was stripped of the captaincy after the [Euro 2017](/source/UEFA_Women's_Euro_2017) tournament and was ultimately succeeded by [Amandine Henry](/source/Amandine_Henry).[8] Renard regained the captaincy in September 2021.[9]

At the [2019 World Cup](/source/2019_FIFA_Women's_World_Cup) on home soil, Renard scored three goals in the group stage: a brace against [South Korea](/source/South_Korea_women's_national_football_team) and a penalty against [Nigeria](/source/Nigeria_women's_national_football_team). She also scored an own goal against [Norway](/source/Norway_women's_national_football_team).[10] Renard scored a consolation goal in France's 2–1 quarter-final defeat to the United States.[11] The 6 foot 2 inch-tall defender was the tallest player at that edition of the World Cup.[12]

On 24 February 2023, Renard announced she would not play at the World Cup later that year to ["preserve her mental health"](/source/Mental_health_in_association_football).[13] According to a report in French multimedia outlet RMC Sport, Renard had decided not play for the national team as long as then-coach [Corinne Diacre](/source/Corinne_Diacre) was in charge.[14] After Diacre was sacked in early March 2023, Renard said she was open to a return to the team if selected.[15] When [Hervé Renard](/source/Herv%C3%A9_Renard) (no relation) succeeded Diacre as France's head coach at the end of March, he immediately invited Renard to rejoin the national squad.[16]

Renard accepted the invitation to resume playing for France and serving as captain. In France's second match of the [2023 FIFA World Cup](/source/2023_FIFA_Women's_World_Cup) group stage, she scored the winning goal against [Brazil](/source/Brazil_women's_national_football_team).[17] In the quarterfinals of the World Cup tournament, France saw a goal called back after Renard was charged with a jersey-pulling foul on an Australian player, and ultimately lost to Australia in a penalty kick shoot-out.[18]

In July 2024, Renard was named in France's squad for the [2024 Olympics](/source/Football_at_the_2024_Summer_Olympics_%E2%80%93_Women's_tournament).[19] However, she was not chosen by coach [Laurent Bonadei](/source/Laurent_Bonadei) for the [Euro 2025](/source/UEFA_Women's_Euro_2025) squad.[20]

## Style of play

As a defender, Renard can be physically strong; she has good pace and technique, and she is capable of scoring powerful headers.[21]

## Personal life

Renard is a devout [Roman Catholic](/source/Catholic_Church) who met [Pope Francis](/source/Pope_Francis) in 2021.[22]
