Myralyn "Mimi" Osei-Agyemang (born November 5, 1981 in the United States ) is a former Ghanaian- American soccer player .

Career

Osei-Agyemang was born to a Ghanaian-born Simon Osei-Agyemang, an engineering graduate at Columbia College, New York's Columbia University , and an American (Myra); she has dual citizenship . She grew up in Portland, Oregon and graduated from Columbia College in 2003 with a bachelor's degree in environmental biotechnology . An illness of her own from malaria in 1998 led Osei-Agyemang to focus on treatment options for malaria and leishmania during her studies . In 2006 she was about to graduate from the University of California, Los Angeles in African Studies . Her younger sister Candice played college football for the Arizona Wildcats.

At the age of 16, the attacker was in a 1-1 draw between the Ghanaian national team (“Black Queens”) against Nigeria for the first time in the national team. It was not until the African Championship in December 2002 that Osei-Agyemang was part of the Black Queens squad again, who reached the finals and thus qualified for the World Cup. While she represented the team of Columbia College (New York) in college football at that time, the dual citizen was also active at the club level for Portland Rain (Oregon). In September 2003, the 183 cm tall and 71 kg heavy player was used in all three World Cup games of the Black Queens against China (0: 1), Russia (0: 3) and Australia (2: 1); Osei-Agyemang was the only player in the squad who was not born in Ghana. Appearances for the national team after the end of the 2003 World Cup are not documented.
