This Friday, the French Football Federation (FFF) unveiled the complete calendar for the 2022-2023 season of D1 Arkema. The 3 Ile-de-France clubs involved in the French elite occupied 2nd, 3rd and 4th places in the ranking last year. Objectives: to reiterate past performances for Paris FC and Fleury. PSG, meanwhile, has the firm intention of fighting for the title acquired in 2021, and recovered by the ogre from Lyon last season.
Les Parisiennes will start their season on September 10 at home, against Soyaux. They will then see two shocks follow one another in December, at the end of the first leg: the derby against Paris FC during the 10th day, on December 3, and especially the match against Lyonnaises, in Lyon, on December 10. The opportunity for a reunion between Gérard Prêcheur, the new coach of PSG, and OL, his former team. Parisiennes and Lyonnaises will meet in the return match on the occasion of the 21st and penultimate day (May 20), for a match that is already promising in terms of what is at stake.

Marie-Antoinette Katoto, injured and operated on at the end of July after having extended her lease with PSG, will have to wait a little longer before treading the lawns again.
For Paris FC, the season will start at home against the promoted Rodez. From the 2nd day, an interesting match against the neighbor floriacumois will take place. It is at the end of the first leg that the debates will become more complicated for the ladies of Sandrine Soubeyrand, who will receive OL (J9), then PSG (J10) in quick succession, a configuration that is repeated in the return matches.

Also on the first day, Fleury will go to Guingamp and OL will travel to the lawn of the Stade de Reims.
PSG will play a friendly tournament in Toulouse, including a match against Manchester United on August 16, then will do an internship in Spain.
