Kelly Gadéa

Gadéa had two stints with Montpellier having started her career with the club in 2005. In 2007, she joined Saint-Étienne and established herself as an up-and-coming talent domestically and internationally. After three seasons with the club, Gadea returned to Montpellier in 2010. On 2 September 2020, Gadéa was announced at Sevilla. On 26 July 2022, Gadéa was announced at Le Havre on a one year contract, with the option of an extension. On 22 July 2023, Gadéa announced her retirement.

Gadéa is known for her leadership ability and has, subsequently, captained several of her age groups in international competitions. She has represented France at under-17, under-19, and under-20 levels. With the under-20 team, she played in the 2010 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup. Her most notable moment in the competition came in a group stage match against Germany. With France trailing 4–1 in the second half, following a free-kick, Gadéa received the ball and took a chipped, driven shot straight at the goal. The ball went into the back of the net before bouncing back out, however, no goal was given by the referee. France lost the match by the same scoreline and was eliminated from the competition by goal difference. The non-call was similar to what happened the previous month at the 2010 FIFA World Cup in a match against England and Germany, which led to calls for the introduction of goal-line technology. She was part of the French team at the 2012 Summer Olympics.
