Ouleymata Sarr is a French professional footballer who plays as a forward for American National Women's Soccer League club Washington Spirit and the France national team.
Her first football memory is playing outside and passing the ball with her brother when they were young.
She is of Mauritian descent.
As a kid, she looked up to Thierry Henry as an athlete.
She has never had a non-football job.
Her first concert experience was seeing Burna Boy just before coming to Washington.
She has a pet cat.
Songs by Burna Boy and Stromae are guaranteed to get her dancing.
One thing that surprised her about the US is the strong air conditioning, which often leaves her feeling like she might catch a cold.
Japan is at the top of her travel bucket list because she finds it beautiful.
She enjoys watching basketball for its constant action and energetic atmosphere, and her favorite NBA players are Stephen Curry and LeBron James.
Her favorite pizza topping is chicken, which she also loves as a snack, although she occasionally enjoys beef as well.
She is originally from Γvreux in the Normandy region of France.
She played football with boys until the age of 13 before she stopped playing for two years. "I had to go to girls but I did not necessarily want to, I was fine with boys," she explained.
She represented France at the 2022 Women's Euro.
She has been a runner-up twice in the UEFA Womenβs Champions League and three times each in the French League and French Cup.
