Léa Soïzic Abadou (; born 12 March 1997) is a professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for the Seconde Ligue team Orléans. Although born in France, she competes internationally for the Algerian national squad.
After Guingamp
Abadou departed from Guingamp in 2019 after a seven-year tenure and subsequently joined CPB Rennes Bréquigny. One year later, she secured a contract spanning two seasons with Vendenheim, marking her initial experience with a club beyond the borders of Brittany.
In 2022, she signed a one-year agreement with US Saint-Malo competing in the Division 2 Féminine. Her latest move came in July 2023 when US Orléans confirmed her acquisition.
International career
Her inaugural call-up to the Algerian national team occurred in September 2021 for a preparatory camp ahead of the 2022 Women's Africa Cup of Nations qualification. After Farid Benstiti took over as head coach, Abadou was summoned again for a training camp in February 2023.
She earned her first cap for Algeria on 18 July 2023, starting in a match that ended with a 4–0 defeat to Senegal. On 27 November 2024, she netted her maiden international goal during a 2–1 win against Uganda.
