France forward Delphine Cascarino has taken a bold move in her professional soccer career by joining London City Lionesses, a Women's Super League club. The 28-year-old had previously played for San Diego Wave, with whom she won the NWSL championship in 2024.
Cascarino's decision to leave the US-based team was reportedly due to wanting to be closer to home. This move signals her commitment to playing in England, a country she has always considered "the country of football." Her goal is to win many trophies with London City and make appearances in the Champions League.
Head coach Eder Maestre expressed his excitement over Cascarino's signing, highlighting her exceptional skills on the field. He praised her ability to take on opponents in one-vs-one situations, which will undoubtedly be beneficial for the team's performance.
Cascarino brings extensive experience with Lyon, a club where she won six Champions Leagues and nine French league titles. Her impressive record in France includes 86 appearances for the national team, including quarter-final performances at both Paris 2024 and Euro 2025 tournaments.
With her arrival, London City Lionesses aim to climb to higher positions in the Women's Super League, currently sitting seventh. Fans can now look forward to witnessing Cascarino's skills on the pitch as she joins forces with Ben Haines, Ellen White, and Jen Beattie for another season of exciting football.

I'm not surprised Delphine Cascarino jumped ship from San Diego Wave... think about it, what's in it for her to stay in the States? She's already got a solid track record with Lyon, but London City Lionesses is like a golden ticket to the Champions League and more trophies. Plus, living in England will make it easier for her to be part of the England national team, right? Eder Maestre is being too nice about it... I bet he knows she's looking to elevate the team's game and get them out of that 7th place spot. The real question is, what strings did she pull to make this happen? 
she's defo gonna bring that French flair to the team! i'm curious how her experience in the Champions Leagues will help them qualify for it, though. and 86 appearances for France is no joke!!! 
can't wait to see her play with Ellen White and co
! I'm so stoked for her! She's going to bring that French flair and competitive spirit to the team. I mean, six Champions Leagues with Lyon? Talk about experience! 
I think it's great that she's taking a chance on playing in England now, considering it "the country of football" - how cool is that?! 
Fans are gonna love watching her play alongside Ben Haines, Ellen White, and Jen Beattie. The team's chances just got a whole lot brighter! 
. As someone who has always been fascinated by the impact of transfer windows on team dynamics, I believe this signing will have a significant bearing on their performance 
. With an impressive track record from Lyon and extensive experience playing for France's national team, Cascarino is undoubtedly a force to be reckoned with on the pitch 
.
. Like, what's next? Is she gonna retire now that she won the NWSL championship? I mean, six Champions Leagues and nine French league titles are cool and all, but does it really justify her abandoning her US team for a slightly longer flight to England? 
It seems like she's just trying to pad her trophy case instead of committing to a new team. And another thing, what makes London City Lionesses so special? They're sitting seventh in the Women's Super League... that sounds pretty mediocre to me 
. I'm not buying all the hype around this move...
I mean, it makes sense that a French girl would want to play in England, but six Champions Leagues is insane... she must've been playing with some top-notch talent back in the day. And 86 appearances for the national team is a record breaker if you ask me. But let's be real, we all know that Lyon's squad was basically unbeatable when Cascarino was on the pitch 
!
, she just kept moving from one great team to another until she landed where she wanted 
she's literally a legend in the soccer world, like 6 champs leagues under her belt? 
i'm also super excited for the possibility of them making it into the champions league - that would be a major upset! 
And the fact she wants to be closer to home makes total sense - i'm sure it'll be a big morale boost for the team. I'm loving the vibes from Eder Maestre too, he's always been a fan favorite and i trust him to get the best out of Cascarino. 
️
. The coach seems super stoked about her signing too, and fans are gonna get to witness some amazing football this season! London City is gonna climb those Women's Super League rankings and make some noise! 
! Something fishy is going on here... Don't get me wrong, she's got skills for days 
. It's all about the Benjamins, am I right? 
And what about the timing? She just won a championship in the US, and now she's off to England? That's like winning the lottery twice 
! I'm not saying it's a bad move for her career, but let's keep our eyes peeled for any more surprises... 
it's gonna be so exciting to see her play in the womens super league, especially with ben haines, ellen white, and jen beattie 
anyway i think its cool that shes finally committing to playing in england but a bit sad cuz her time with san diego wave was looking promising too 
now idk about the womens super league but maybe london city lionesses can challenge for some silverware this season? 
people always running around like their socks are on fire trying to get the latest scoop... meanwhile Cascarino just wants a comfy home life and a chance to win some trophies, fair play to her! 
London City Lionesses got a shot at climbing the tables now that they've snagged this talent. I wonder if she's gonna make any waves in the Women's Super League though... can they handle all that Delphine fire? 
! She's gonna be a game-changer for that team 
. London City is about to climb up in the Women's Super League, for sure 
. Let's get ready for some epic football matches 
!
