Olivia Epoupa joins Algerian club!

Association du Groupement Sportif Cosider has just announced the arrival of Olivia Epoupa (1.65m, 31) for the upcoming season. The former French international joins the first division team as their second foreign player, alongside Egyptian Asrar Bakr.

A 2024-2025 season in Turkey

The French point guard brings considerable experience, having played in five different countries across three continents during her career. Her journey has taken her from European courts to Australian and North American leagues, including the WNBA where she notably played for the Minnesota Lynx and Phoenix Mercury.

Epoupa comes from a season in Turkey with Ormanspor in KBSL, where she averaged 4 points, 3.5 rebounds, 4.4 assists, and 2 steals in just 10 games. These statistics reflect her activity and versatility.

A brief stint for the Arab Women’s Club Championship

Her experience isn’t limited to clubs. As a member of the French international program for several years, she represented Les Bleues at the senior level between 2014 and 2021. Her last summer campaign was at Euro 2021, which ended with an ankle injury.

Her recent achievements include winning the WNBA Commissioner’s Cup between 2022 and 2024.

With this signing, GS Kocidar is banking on the experience and leadership of a player who has competed at the highest international level to participate in the 26th Arab Women’s Club Basketball Championship, scheduled for September 10-19, 2025, in Medina, Saudi Arabia.
