Cascarino started playing football for her local youth teams of A.S. St. Priest and A.S. A.S. Manissieux St Priest before joining Olympique Lyonnais in 2009.[1] She made her senior debut for Lyon in the Division 1 Féminine in the 2014–15 season.[2][3] She was rewarded with her first professional contract in 2015.[2] In January 2017, her season was ended early due to a knee injury.[4] By 2018, she had won three UEFA Women's Champions League and three Division 1 titles with Olympic Lyonnais.[5]
In 2012, Cascarino was selected to play for the France women's national under-17 football team, where she was part of their 2012 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup winning campaign.[6] Her captain Sandie Toletti said of Cascarino: "It's a great discovery, knowing that she was not part of the last European championship. She is already a great player, despite her young age."[7] In 2016, Cascarino made her senior debut for France against the England women's national football team.[8]
Cascarino is the twin sister of Estelle Cascarino, also a football player, who played alongside her sister at Lyon before moving to Paris FC in 2016.[9] They are not related to Tony Cascarino, although they are often asked if they are:[10] "I am often asked if I am from his family, that is not the case... I know that he notably played for Nancy and that he is Irish. Me, I'm not Irish at all! (laughs)"[11] Her father is Italian and her mother comes from Guadeloupe.[12]
