Communiqué - A Quebecer with the Bleuettes: Roxanne Bolduc with France in the 1st round of qualifications for the U19 Euro soccer.

Valencia (Spain), December 10, 2025 – French-Québécois defender Roxanne Bolduc (17 years old) experienced a perfect first phase of qualification with the French U19 women's team: three matches, three victories. Starting in two out of the three games played in Cardiff (Wales), the player from the south shore of Montreal contributed to the flawless performance of the team against Turkey, Finland, and Wales.

These three victories allow France to finish first in its group and qualify for Qualifying Round 2 of Euro 2026. The draw for Round 2 (League A and League B) will take place on December 11, 2025, at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon. This was Roxanne Bolduc's second selection with the U19 team, following her debut in October during the two friendly matches against Spain, the defending champion.

“Every time I hear the national anthem, I realize the privilege I have to wear this jersey. The group of girls and coaches is amazing. There is so much talent among my teammates. I believe I have never seen such a close-knit team, both on and off the field. This is the second camp we have spent together after the one in October: it's perfect for getting to know each other better. About my performance, I know I can do even better and correct some things. I'm already working on it since my return to Villarreal. There are always sequences we'd like to relive, that's part of sports. The most important thing is the collective result, and these three victories were wonderful to experience.” – Roxanne Bolduc
