Dutch footballer and striker, Netherlands' all-time leading goalscorer and one of the most prolific forwards in women's football history.
The Netherlands' World Cup and European Championship winner whose goal-scoring records at Arsenal broke every standard in the WSL. Her hat-trick and two assists against Chelsea in 2019 is the greatest individual WSL performance ever recorded. Football at the highest level demands technical mastery, physical conditioning and mental fortitude across a long and relentless season. Career highlights included FIFA Women's World Cup Winner 2019, UEFA Women's Euro Winner 2017, WSL Player of the Season 2019. Vivianne represented the kind of complete athlete that football produces only rarely — technically accomplished, physically conditioned and mentally equipped for the full demands of elite competition. Few athletes in football combined consistency and peak performance as effectively across the full span of a long and distinguished career. Competing at the highest level in football over an extended period demands not only physical gifts but the mental resilience to overcome setbacks and maintain standards — something Vivianne Miedema demonstrated throughout.
