Soubeyrand played as a midfielder and was a member of the France women's national football team. On 29 October 2009, she earned her record 143rd career international cap in a match against Estonia. The achievement surpassed French men's international defender Lilian Thuram as the nation's most capped football player.[1] Soubeyrand serves as the Minister of Youth Affairs and Sports for the city of Juvisy.[2]

Career

Soubeyrand began her career at age seven playing for Boulieu-lès-Annonay in the département of Ardèche. Ate the age of 14, she joined Saint-Cyr Félines. She spent seven years in Saint-Cyr before departing for the city of Lyon playing for SC Caluire in Caluire-et-Cuire. At Caluire, Soubeyrand made her international debut and established herself as a capable midfielder. At the beginning of the new millennium, she joined D1 Féminine club FCF Juvisy, where she currently remains. At Juvisy, Soubeyrand has won two league titles (2002–03 and 2005–06 seasons), a Challenge de France title (2004–05), and has participated in the UEFA Women's Cup and the re-branded UEFA Women's Champions League. During the 2002–03 season, she scored seven goals and, for her seasonal performances, was named the league's top player by the UNFP. For the 2008–09 season, Soubeyrand, despite being 35 years old, appeared in 20 of the club's 22 matches and scored seven goals helping Juvisy finish in 3rd, one point shy of qualifying for the newly created UEFA Women's Champions League. In the following season, Soubeyrand took part in all 22 games in the league, scoring and assisting three goals. In the same season, Juvisy managed to qualify for the UEFA Women's Champions League but merely missed out on the league title to defending champions Lyon. In the 2010–11 season with Juvisy, she participated in 21 league games, managing to go goalless, but assisting six goals. This was only the second time in her career with Juvisy that she did not score a league goal in a season. She finished the season in fourth place with Juvisy. She also played in the Champions League with Juvisy in this season. She participated in nine games, scoring twice. She reached the quarter-final stage with Juvisy, who were badly beaten and knocked out of the competition 9–2 on aggregate against the finalists Turbine Potsdam. In the 2011–12 season, Soubeyrand finished in 2nd place once again with Juvisy, behind league winners Lyon. In 2012–13, she ended the season in third place with Juvisy, but managed to go all the way to the semi-finals in the 2012–13 UEFA Women's Champions League where they suffered a heavy 9–1 defeat on aggregate to fellow country club Lyon. In the 2013–14 league season, she finished third once again with Juvisy, assisting ten goals and scoring one. Sandrine retired after Juvisy's final league game of the 2013–14 season at the age of 41 after enjoying a 14 year spell at Juvisy.
