To my amazing supporters and the football world, To Paris Saint-Germain Féminine,
Today, as I reflect on the journey football has given me in my career, I write this letter with much gratitude, pride and admiration. That has impacted every minute on the field, every challenge overcome and every success achieved with the incredible love, support and encouragement I have received from so many amazing people along the way.
Thank you to Paris Saint-Germain for believing in me and for creating an atmosphere that allowed me to grow as a person and as a footballer. It’s been one of the biggest honors of my life to represent this club. I want to thank my teammates, my coaches, the medical staff, management and everyone who works so hard behind the scenes. Your dedication and professionalism has allowed me to strive for perfection every single day. PSG is not just a football team, it’s a family united by ambition, passion and tenacity.
I want to thank all the fans for your continued support and love. Your enthusiasm in the stadium, your words of encouragement, your belief in me every step of the way has given me strength beyond imagination. And each chant, each round of applause, each act of loyalty reminds the players of the importance of this lovely game. I will always remember the amazing experience of wearing the Paris Saint-Germain colours and feeling the love of such passionate fans.
“We thank all the football community, players, coaches, journalists, officials, supporters and all those who are committed to the global development of football, for creating an environment that makes dreams possible.” Football can bring together people from different backgrounds, ethnicities and languages, with passion, respect and shared emotions. “I feel very privileged to be involved in a sport that continues to inspire millions of people around the world.
Professional athletes have to sacrifice, deal with pressure, overcome obstacles and times of uncertainty. But the people around me gave me the courage and inspiration to move on through every trying time. Those meetings helped mould me into the player and person I am today, with all my flaws and character.
I am so thankful for all of the people that have helped me to succeed and grow as I continue down this road. I will always cherish the lessons, friendships and memories I made through football.
Thank you for believing in me, thank you for motivating me to chase my dreams, thank you for providing an environment for hard work, passion and persistence to flourish.
With greatest appreciation and esteem,
Sakina Karchaoui
