The Lyonnaises, coached this season by former France team coach Pierre Vincent, have regained home advantage and will be able to complete the best-of-three series on Friday in their Mado-Bonnet hall.

Acquired by Tony Parker in the summer of 2017, the ASVEL women’s team rose through the ranks very quickly, winning the title of French champion in two seasons, crowned in 2019 under the orders of Valéry Demory. In the other semi-final, Bourges faces Basket Landes in the evening, for a meeting in the form of revenge for the final of the Coupe de France won at the end of the suspense and after two extensions by the Montoises.
