Eve Perisset

Ève Josette Noelle Périsset (born 24 December 1994) is a French professional footballer who plays as a right-back for Northern Super League club Montreal Roses FC and the France national team.

Club career Périsset started her professional career at Lyon in 2012. Her first season ended with a UEFA Women's Champions League final defeat to German club Wolfsburg. She was part of the squads that won three Division 1 Féminine titles and three Coupe de France trophies in a row between 2013 and 2016.

Périsset won the 2015–16 Champions League with Lyon, who beat Wolfsburg 4–3 on penalties after a 1–1 draw in the final in Italy. The defender was an unused substitute in the final and, despite winning seven trophies at Lyon, she only made 18 league appearances across the last three seasons.

In 2016, she moved to fellow French club Paris Saint-Germain. Périsset immediately established herself as a regular starter, making 36 appearances in her debut campaign and helping the team reach the 2016–17 Champions League final. Périsset played 94 minutes of that match and, with the score at 0–0 after extra time, PSG were narrowly beaten 7–6 on penalties by her former club Lyon.

The following season, she made a further 27 appearances as Paris Saint-Germain won the Coupe de France. On 19 June 2020, Bordeaux announced the signing of Périsset on a two-year deal.

On 8 June 2022, Périsset joined Women's Super League club Chelsea on a three-year deal. She played 32 times in all competitions in her first season and helped Chelsea win both the 2022–23 WSL and FA Cup trophies.

The 2023–24 season saw Périsset play 25 matches as the Blues successfully retained their WSL league title. On 20 November 2024, the Frenchwoman scored her first goal for Chelsea in a 3–0 Champions League victory over Celtic at Stamford Bridge.

On 31 January 2025, her contract with Chelsea was terminated on a mutual agreement. She joined Strasbourg on the same day on a contract until the end of the season.

On 8 July 2026, it was announced that Périsset had joined Northern Super League club Montreal Roses FC.

International career Périsset participated in several French youth teams. In 2014, she was part of the squad that finished third at the 2014 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in Canada.

Périsset made her senior team debut on 16 September 2016 in a 1–1 draw against Brazil. In 2017, she was among the 23 women who represented France at the UEFA Women's Euro 2017.

Périsset was called up to the France squad for the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup, where she started once and made a further two substitute appearances.

On 30 May 2022, Périsset was named in the France squad for the UEFA Women's Euro 2022. She started four of the team's five matches at the Euros and scored a 102nd-minute extra time penalty to knock out defending champions Netherlands. After that 1–0 win, France were beaten 2–1 by Germany in the semi-finals.

Périsset was called up to the France squad for the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup. At the tournament, Périsset played four times and got one assist, with France losing to joint hosts Australia on penalties in the quarter-finals.

In July 2024, Périsset was named in hosts France's squad for the 2024 Olympics and she featured in one game. The French lost 1–0 to eventual finalists Brazil at the quarter-final stage.
