Club career
Sombath started her career as a junior in 2011 at CSOM Arcueil, before joining Paris FC. She was then recruited by Paris Saint-Germain, where she became a pillar of the U19 team, with which she won the Championnat National Féminin U19 in 2019.[2]
In 2020, Sombath was recruited by Lyon along with her PSG teammate and French international Vicki Becho. This recruitment provoked the anger of the PSG sporting director, Leonardo.[3] When she arrived at Lyon, she signed her first professional contract.[4]
Despite her presence on the match sheet during the French Cup final a month after her arrival, Sombath remained on the bench. She played her first Division 1 matches during the 2021-2022 season, even starting for the first day.[5]
International career
Sombath started her international career with the France Under-16 team when they won the Montaigu Tournament in 2019.[6] She then played in the qualifiers for Euro U17 2020[7] and Euro U19 2022.[8]
