The Franco-Moroccan Sakina Karchaoui elected in the Top 3 of the "sexiest" female athletes in France

Sakina Karchaoui’s charm leaves no one indifferent. According to the annual ranking established by the Discurv institute and published on December 27, the native of Salon-de-Provence ranks third among the "sexiest" female athletes in France.

With 11% of the votes, the Paris Saint-Germain and French national team player shares this podium step with cyclist Pauline Ferrand-Prévot and gymnast Mélanie de Jesus dos Santos. She narrowly trails tennis player Caroline Garcia and her teammate with the Bleues, Amandine Henry (13%).

This endorsement rewards a radiant personality. The study highlights the communicative energy of the Franco-Moroccan, described by the respondents as "smiling, expressive and committed". Far from being just an aesthetic figure, Karchaoui embodies a generation of "visible and assumed" female athletes, combining high-level performance and accessibility.

Trained in the "street football" school before shining among the professionals (winner of the Champions League with Lyon, and two French Cups with PSG), she now uses her notoriety to inspire the younger generation, notably through her association that encourages the practice of women’s football.

This year-end ranking confirms a popularity that has continued to grow, particularly following the 2025 Euro played in Switzerland. Sakina Karchaoui had then emerged as one of the most followed players of the competition.

Today, with over a million followers on Instagram, the Franco-Moroccan remains a major influencer in world football, outpacing stars like England’s Lucy Bronze. A visibility that makes her one of the most powerful ambassadors of women’s football... and one of the most charming in the eyes of the French public.
