Amandine Henry

Henry began her career in 2004, at the age of 15, at Hénin-Beaumont. After one season, she attended the women's section of the Clairefontaine academy for two seasons.

Olympique Lyonnais, 2007–2016

In 2007, at the age of 18, Henry joined Lyon, the most successful women's team in France. During her first season with Lyon, she injured the cartilage in her knee, which kept her out of competition for a year and a half. It was a difficult time, and she considered giving up on football, but with the support of her family, she persevered and returned to Lyon. With Lyon, Henry was featured in the final match of the UEFA Women's Champions League in three consecutive seasons beginning in 2010.

Portland Thorns, 2016–17

Henry signed with the Portland Thorns in March 2016 and joined the team in June, where she played in 10 matches and started in 9 for the regular season-winning National Women's Soccer League team. She scored her first NWSL goal against Boston on 27 May. In May, she was named to the NWSL Team of the Month. She started in 12 consecutive games between April and July before departing for the UEFA Women's Euro 2017. During the 2017 season, Henry returned to the Thorns to score in consecutive matches. First, she scored against Kansas City on 16 August, converting her first penalty kick for the Thorns. Then, she played 30 minutes as a substitute in the game against the Houston Dash on 19 August, scoring her third goal of the season. The Thorns finished the…

At the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup in Canada, Henry earned the Silver Ball Award. Henry was named among the best players in Europe in 2015, becoming a finalist in the annual UEFA Best Women's Player in Europe Award, finishing second behind Célia Šašić. During UEFA Women's Euro 2017, Henry started in all four games for France. France was ranked #3 in the world. France beat Iceland 1–0 on 18 July. On 22 July, Henry scored the goal that drew the game against Austria 1–1, and on 26 July, France drew Switzerland 1–1. This qualified France to advance to the quarter-finals where they lost to England 1–0 on 30 July. Henry received the player of the match award for the quarter-final match against England. In May 2022, Henry was omitted from the French selection for UEFA Women's Euro 2022 by manager Corinne Diacre despite her form for Lyon in national and Champions League club play. This continued a trend since 2020 of Diacre omitting Henry from the selection. France Football writer Théo Troude considered the omission a "scandal" and indicative of Diacre's management style. In February 2023, Wendie Renard withdrew from the squad "to preserve (her) sanity", Kadidiatou Diani withdrew and called for "profound changes", and Marie Katoto suspended her international career while also calling for change. The French federation fired Diacre on 9 March 2023. On 6 June 2023, the France women's national team manager Hervé Renard included Henry in the selection for the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup.…
