Last summer, Gaëtane Thiney (38) announced that she would play a final season with Paris FC before hanging up her boots.
The international midfielder (163 caps, 58 goals) may have already found an idea for a career change.
The captain of the PFC is, in fact, one of the actresses in a 3-episode mini-series broadcast on the X account (formerly Twitter) of the capital club to announce the last match of the group stage of the Ligue des champions against Chelsea next Tuesday.
In the first episode, we see him putting up posters of the meeting on the stairs of Avenue de Camoëns, in the 16th arrondissement of Paris.
His teammate Mathilde Bourdieu calls out to him: “Well Gaëtane, what are you doing there?
» “I’m putting up a poster!”, she replies.
If we want to have a crowd and fill the Charléty stadium for our match against Chelsea, we have to do that.
» “We have no right to do that!”
», insists Mathilde Bourdieu.
" It's forbidden ?
We are going to remove them,” announced Gaëtane Thiney in the company of Clara Mateo, Théa Greboval, Julie Soyer and Louna Ribadeira.
The next two episodes will be broadcast on X this weekend.

“The women were very involved in the organization in order to fill the Charléty stadium as much as possible,” praises Valentin Paris, head of editorial and digital content at the PFC.
There was a meeting between the women and the communications department on Tuesday January 16.
There was a lot of debate on several ideas.
We organized a period of filming in the streets of Paris.
They are the ones who wrote the screenplay.
They were super invested, it’s great!

“This kind of thing could not be done in all clubs”
Filming took place on Saturday January 20.
The day before, the Parisiennes had seen their championship match against Le Havre postponed due to an impassable pitch.
For two hours, the 16 players in the squad plus Valentin Paris, Carla Ferreira, communications manager at the club and the voluntary help of a person working in the audiovisual sector filmed the three episodes.
" It's great.
Management validated the project.
We are very lucky at the PFC to have players who are extremely demanding and who are not stingy with their efforts to put us in good conditions, supports Valentin Paris.
This kind of thing could not be done in all clubs.
We see the family side of Paris FC.
We all support each other.
The girls mobilized their free time so that we could create quality content and they had a blast doing it.
It makes our lives easier to have such invested girls.

Four days before the meeting, 8,000 tickets were sold.
Prices range between €4 and €12.
The arrival of Real Madrid attracted 11,000 people to the Charléty stadium.
The record could therefore be broken.
Sportingly, Paris FC will have to win against Chelsea and count on a misstep (draw or defeat) from the Swedes of BK Häcken at Real Madrid to qualify for the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
