Amel Majri (born 25 January 1993) is a professional footballer who plays as a winger and left-back for Saudi Women's Premier League club Al-Ula.[3][4] With Lyon, she has won thirteen league titles and eight UEFA Women's Champions League titles.
Born in Tunisia, Majri moved to France at a young age. She played for the Tunisia U20s and France U23s before making her senior France debut in 2014.
Majri was born in Monastir, Tunisia and moved to France at the age of 1 alongside her twin sister, Rachida, and her mother, Hafsia. They settled in Vénissieux in the residential area of Minguettes, located in the suburbs of Lyon. She returns to Tunisia every summer.[5]
She began playing football in Tunisia at the age of 4 with her uncle. She perfected her technique using tennis balls and spent her summers on the beaches of Tunisia playing beach football. In France, she played five-a-side pick up games with boys in her neighbourhood until the age of 12, and at school. Upon seeing her play in the schoolyard, her primary school teacher insisted that she join a club, something Majri was initially against. Eventually, she joined l'AS Minguettes where she was the only girl on her team. Two years later, she was recruited by Lyon aged 14.[6]
Club career
On 13 August 2025, OL Lyonnes announced the departure of Majri at her request, and that she had signed for Al-Ula.[7]
On 19 September 2025, Majri participated in her first match with Al-Ula in the 2025–26 Saudi Women's Premier League against NEOM, where she entered as a substitute player in the 70th minute of the second half and then scored her first goal in the 83rd minute from a penalty kick, so the match ended in a 1–1 draw at Prince Mohammed Bin Abdulaziz Sports City in Medina.[8]
Personal life
Majri is a Muslim. She got married in 2012.[9]
Majri gave birth to a daughter, Maryam, in July 2022. Majri returned to playing football in December 2022 after five months away and became the first woman French international to report for duty with a young child.[10] She brought her daughter to training at Clairefontaine before the 2023 World Cup.[11]
