Early life

Hamm was born on March 17, 1972 in Selma, Alabama to Bill and Stephanie Hamm. She is the fourth of six children.[11] She wore corrective shoes as a toddler after being born with a club foot.[12] Hamm spent her childhood on various U.S. Air Force bases around the world with her family. She first played soccer while living in Florence, Italy, and her entire family quickly became involved in the sport.[13] At age five, Hamm joined her first soccer team in Wichita Falls, Texas. Her father coached Hamm and her newly adopted brother, 8-year-old Garrett.[11] In junior high school, Hamm excelled as a football player on the boys' team. She attended Lake Braddock Secondary School in Burke, Virginia, and helped the Lake Braddock soccer team win the 1989 state championship.[14][15]

College career

From 1989 to 1993, Hamm attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where she helped the Tar Heels win four NCAA Division I Championships in five years. She red-shirted the 1991 season to focus on preparation for the inaugural 1991 FIFA Women's World Cup in China.[8] North Carolina lost one game of the 95 she played on the team.[16] Hamm earned All-American honors, was named the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) Player of the Year for three consecutive years,[11] and was named ACC Female Athlete of the Year in 1993 and 1994.[17] She graduated from North Carolina in 1994 with the ACC records for goals (103), assists (72), and total points (278).[18] In 2003, Hamm and Michael Jordan were named the greatest athletes of the ACC's first fifty years.[19] Hamm was a member of the United States women's national college team that won a silver medal at the 1993 Summer Universiade in Buffalo, New York.[20][21]

Club career

In 2001, Hamm was a founding player in the first professional women's soccer league in the United States, the Women's United Soccer Association (WUSA), and played for the Washington Freedom from 2001 to 2003.[22] Throughout the league's history, Hamm was hailed as the star of the league and used heavily in marketing and promotion. In a poll of 1,000 advertising executives conducted in 2001, she was voted "the most appealing female athlete", garnering almost twice as many votes as the runner-up Anna Kournikova.[23]

During the league's inaugural match between the Freedom and the Bay Area CyberRays at RFK Stadium in Washington, D.C., Hamm was fouled in the penalty area, which resulted in a penalty kick that her teammate Pretinha converted to mark the first goal scored in the league. The Freedom won 1–0.[24] The 34,148 fans in attendance surpassed the turnout of every MLS game that weekend, while the television broadcast reached 393,087 households.[25] Playing as a midfielder and forward, Hamm played in 19 of the Freedom's 21 matches during the 2001 season. She led the team in goals (6) and assists (4). The Freedom finished in seventh place during the regular season with a 6–12–3 record.[26]

Hamm suffered a knee injury in November 2001 that kept her off the field for several months during early 2002.[27][28] She played half of the 2002 season with the Freedom, scoring eight goals.[27] The team finished the season in third place with a 11–5–5 record and advanced to the playoffs.[29] After winning the semifinal against the Philadelphia Charge 1–0, the Freedom were defeated 3–2 by the Carolina Courage in the 2002 WUSA Founders Cup.[5] Hamm scored once during the match.[30]

During the 2003 season, Hamm started in 16 of the 19 games in which she played. Her 11 goals ranked second on the team behind Abby Wambach's 13, while her 11 assists ranked first.[31] The Freedom finished the regular season in fourth place with a 9–8–4 record and secured a berth in the playoffs.[32] The Freedom defeated the Atlanta Beat 2–1 in overtime to win the Founders Cup on August 24, 2003.[33]

International career

1987–2004: Women's national team

Hamm made her debut for the United States women's national soccer team at the age of 15 at the 1987 U.S. Olympic Festival.[b] She did not score a goal during her first year, and scored her first goal during her 17th appearance.[36] She competed in four FIFA Women's World Cup tournaments: the inaugural 1991 in China, 1995 in Sweden, 1999 and 2003 in the United States. She led the team at three Olympic Games, including: 1996 in Atlanta (the first time women's soccer was played), 2000 in Sydney, and 2004 in Athens. In total, she played 42 matches and scored 14 goals in international tournaments.

As of March 2026, Hamm ranks third on the list of most international goals scored, by players of any gender.[7] She ranks third in the history of the U.S. national team for international caps (276) and first for career assists (144).[8]

1991 FIFA Women's World Cup

"Take your victories, whatever they may be, cherish them, use them, but don't settle for them. There are always new, grander challenges to confront, and a true winner will embrace each one."

— Mia Hamm[38]

In 1991, Hamm was named to the roster for the inaugural FIFA Women's World Cup in China under North Carolina coach Anson Dorrance. At 19 years old, she was the youngest player on the squad.[39] During the team's first match of the tournament, Hamm scored the game-winning goal as the U.S. achieved a 3–2 victory over Sweden.[40][41] She also scored once in their second group stage match as they defeated Brazil 5–0.[42] The U.S. eventually advanced to the final, where they defeated Norway 2–1 to win the World Cup.[43]

1995 FIFA Women's World Cup

Hamm's second World Cup appearance came during the 1995 tournament in Sweden. The U.S. were led by head coach Tony DiCicco.[44] During the first match of the tournament, Hamm scored the team's third goal in a 3–3 draw against China PR.[45] During the second group stage match against Denmark, Hamm played the position of goalkeeper for a few minutes after Briana Scurry received a red card and was removed from the match.[46][47] The U.S. was ultimately defeated in the semifinals by eventual champion Norway.[48] Hamm's team achieved third place after defeating China PR 2–0 on June 17, with Hamm scoring one goal.[49]

The 1996 Summer Olympic Games in Atlanta was the first Olympics to include women's soccer.[50] Hamm scored a goal and served an assist as the U.S. defeated Denmark 3–0 in the first group stage match.[51][52] After defeating Norway in the semifinals, the U.S. faced China in the final.[52][53] Hamm played despite having foot and groin injuries, and was carried off on a stretcher in the final minute.[c] The U.S. achieved a 2–1 victory witnessed by 76,481 fans—the largest crowd for a soccer event in the history of the Olympics, and the largest crowd for a women's sports event in the United States.[d]

The 20 goals scored by Hamm in 1998 were the highest annual total of her international career.[60] She also provided 20 assists. On September 18, she scored her 100th international goal in a friendly match against Russia in Rochester, New York.[60] The same year, she led the U.S. to their first-ever gold medal at the Goodwill Games. Hamm scored five of the team's seven goals at the tournament, including two during the final match against China.[60]

On May 22, 1999, Hamm broke the all-time international goal record with her 108th goal in a game against Brazil in Orlando, Florida.[61] The following month, she led the national team at the 1999 FIFA Women's World Cup, hosted by the United States.[62] During a group stage match against Nigeria, Hamm scored one goal and served one assist as the U.S. won 7–1.[e] During the final group stage match, head coach Tony DiCicco rested Hamm, who was substituted at halftime.[64][66] In the semifinal against Brazil, Hamm was knocked down in the penalty during the second half; Michelle Akers scored the resulting penalty kick as the U.S. won 2–0.[67]

The World Cup Final was decided by a penalty shootout between the U.S. and China. All five American players to take penalty kicks converted, including Hamm; China missed one kick, resulting in a U.S. victory.[68] The match surpassed the 1996 Atlanta Olympics final as the most-attended women's sports event in history, with more than 90,000 people filling the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California.[69][70] With 17,975,000 U.S. television viewers, it held the record for the largest U.S. television audience for a soccer match until 2014.[71]

After the match, Hamm collapsed in the locker room from severe dehydration. She was treated by medical staff with an intravenous drip and three liters of fluids.[27] After 12 hours of sleep, she joined the team for magazine cover shoots, went to Disneyland for a celebration rally, and made numerous television appearances. A week later, the team met President Clinton at the White House and flew with Hillary and Chelsea Clinton on Air Force One to Cape Canaveral.[27] Hamm's leadership and performance at the 1999 World Cup cemented her as a soccer icon.[f]

2000 Sydney Olympics

Hamm represented the U.S. at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia. During the group stage of the tournament, she scored a goal as the U.S. defeated Norway 2–0.[74] After advancing to the semifinals where the U.S. faced Brazil, Hamm scored the game-winning goal in the 60th minute.[75] The goal marked the 127th of her international career and set a new record for most goals scored in international play by a player of any gender.[75] The U.S. faced Norway in the final and were defeated 3–2 in overtime to earn the silver medal at the Games.[76][77]

2003 FIFA Women's World Cup

Originally scheduled for China, the 2003 FIFA Women's World Cup was moved to the United States due to the SARS outbreak.[78] Hamm was named to the U.S. roster in August,[79] and stated that it would be her final World Cup appearance.[80] During the team's first group stage match, Hamm's three assists helped the U.S. to a 3–1 win over Sweden.[81] She scored twice against Nigeria and served the assist for the team's third goal to lead the U.S. to a 5–0 win and qualification for the quarter-finals with one match to play.[82] The U.S. faced North Korea in their final group stage match and dominated 3–0. Hamm and a number of others were rested for the game by head coach April Heinrichs; this was the first World Cup match Hamm had missed in her career.[64] The U.S. faced Norway in the quarter-finals;[83] Although the U.S. won 1–0, Hamm was fouled throughout the match as Norway played with physicality to counter the U.S. team. One of Norway's 24 fouls resulted in a penalty kick for Hamm which was saved by the Norwegian goalkeeper.[83] After the U.S. was defeated 3–0 by Germany in the semi-finals,[84] the team defeated Canada 3–1 to secure a third-place finish.[85]

2004: 158th international goal and Athens Olympics

During a friendly game against Australia on July 21, 2004, Hamm scored her 158th international goal[86] setting the record for most international goals scored by any player in the world, male or female. She held the world record until Abby Wambach scored her 159th goal on June 20, 2013.[87] The Australia match also marked Hamm's 259th international appearance; only two of her teammates, Kristine Lilly and Christie Rampone, have played in more international games.[88]

Hamm helped lead the U.S. national team to its second gold medal at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens and was selected by her fellow Olympians to carry the American flag at the closing ceremony.[89] During the team's first group stage match against Greece, Hamm served the cross to Shannon Boxx's game-opening goal,[90] and scored the last goal of the match to lift the U.S. to a 3–0 win.[90] During a 2–0 win over Brazil in the second group stage match, Hamm converted a penalty kick for the opening goal.[91] The U.S. finished at the top of Group C with seven points after a 1–1 draw against Australia to advance to the quarter-finals,[92] where they defeated Japan 2–1.[93] During the semi-final match against Germany, Hamm served an assist to Heather O'Reilly who scored in overtime to secure a 2–1 win.[94] The U.S. faced Brazil for a second time at the Games in the gold medal match and won 2–1 in overtime.[95] Her teammates swarmed Hamm after the final whistle to celebrate their second Olympic gold medal and her final win at the Olympics.[95] The game marked the last Olympic appearance for the five remaining players who had helped win the inaugural 1991 FIFA Women's World Cup: Hamm, Julie Foudy, Joy Fawcett, Brandi Chastain, and Kristine Lilly (often referred to as the Fab Five).[95]

Honors and awards

"My coach said I ran like a girl, I said if he could run a little faster he could too."

— Mia Hamm[155]

The University of North Carolina retired Hamm's no. 19 jersey in 1994.[156][157] Hamm set the NCAA women's soccer scoring record with 278 points (statistics include 103 goals and 72 assists), was the National Player of the Year in 1992 and 1993, leading the team to four national championships.[158]

While at North Carolina, she was a three-time consecutive All-American and a three-time ACC Player of the Year, and was named the ACC Female Athlete of the Year in both 1993 and 1994.[159][160] She also won the Honda Sports Award as the nation's top female soccer player in both 1993 and 1994, and received the Honda-Broderick Cup in 1994 as the nation's top female athlete.[161][162]

Hamm was named Sportswoman of the Year by the Women's Sports Foundation in 1997 and 1999.[163] In June 1999, Nike named the largest building on their corporate campus after Hamm.[164] In December 2000, Hamm was named one of the top three female soccer players of the twentieth century in the FIFA Female Player of the Century Award, finishing behind only Sun Wen and compatriot Michelle Akers.[165]

In March 2004, Hamm and former U.S. teammate Michelle Akers were the only two women and Americans named to the FIFA 100, a list of the 125 greatest living soccer players, selected by Pelé and commissioned by FIFA for the organization's 100th anniversary.[166] Other accolades include being elected U.S. Soccer Female Athlete of the Year five years in a row from 1994 to 1998,[167] and winning three ESPY awards including Soccer Player of the Year and Female Athlete of the Year.[168]

In 2006, Hamm was inducted into the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame, followed by the Texas Sports Hall of Fame on March 11, 2008.[169][170] In 2006, Princeton University awarded her an honorary Doctorate of Humanities.[171] In 2007, during her first year of eligibility, Hamm was selected for induction into the National Soccer Hall of Fame. In 2008, an image of her silhouette was used in the logo for the second professional women's soccer league in the United States: Women's Professional Soccer.[172] ESPN named her the greatest female athlete in 2012.[173]

In 2013, Hamm became the first woman inducted into the World Football Hall of Fame, located in Pachuca, Mexico.[174] She was named to U.S. Soccer's USWNT All-Time Best XI in December 2013.[175] In 2014, Hamm was named one of ESPNW's Impact 25;[176] she was also the recipient of the Golden Foot Legends Award.[177]

For their first match of March 2019, the women of the United States women's national soccer team each wore a jersey with the name of a woman they were honoring on the back; Samantha Mewis chose the name of Hamm.[178]

In 2021, Hamm was inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame.[179]

In 2022, Los Angeles F.C. of Major League Soccer - of which Hamm is part owner - won the MLS Cup, thus giving Hamm an MLS championship to her credit.
