Anna Margaretha Marina Astrid "Vivianne" Miedema (born 15 July 1996) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a forward for Women's Super League club Manchester City and the Netherlands national team. She previously played for Arsenal, Bayern Munich and SC Heerenveen.
Personal life[]
Miedema is in a relationship with England footballer and Arsenal teammate Beth Mead. Miedema was previously in a relationship with Scottish footballer and ex-Arsenal teammate, Lisa Evans, for six years.
Her younger brother, Lars, is also a footballer, who as of 2020 was playing for FC Den Bosch. Known for her lack of interest in overtly celebrating her goals, she made a rare exception upon becoming the Netherlands' top scorer in 2019 after her brother insisted she mark the achievement.
Miedema is a co-author of Vivianne voetbalt, a series of children's comic books featuring her, written in her native Dutch language.
Miedema is studying for a UEFA-B coaching license. In 2021 she earned a master's degree in Football Business from the Johan Cruyff Institute.
In 2019 Miedema became an ambassador of War Child, a charity supporting children in war zones. In November 2021, Miedema joined the charity movement Common Goal, committing 1% of her salary to community organisations working with young people. Miedema said "I'm lucky to be living my dream and I feel the responsibility to help others live theirs too. I'm excited to join Common Goal and to be able to really scale the impact I can have off the field." In March 2022 she led Common Goal's emergency response to the help victims of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, together with Juventus player Paulo Dybala.
In September 2022, Miedema opened a Cruyff Court bearing her name in Hoogeveen, on the location where she used to play as a child.
