International career

[edit]

At the2007 World Cup held in China, Miyama performed brilliantly in Japan's match againstEngland, scoring the team's two goals both from direct free kicks as they held on to a draw. InJapan's first group stage match of the2011 World Cup, she scored the go-ahead goal in Japan's win againstNew Zealand from another free kick in the 68th minute, and was named Player of the Match.

At the2011 World Cup in Germany, Miyama scored the winner – a curling free kick – to help Japan beat New Zealand, and netted Japan's first goal in the final against the USA. Miyama also scored Japan's first penalty of the eventualpenalty shoot-out in the final which ended 2–2 after extra time. Her team won 3–1 in the penalty shoot-out, making them the firstAsian team to win theWorld Cup.[3] In the moment of victory, Miyama did not join her teammates in celebration, but instead went to the American players to hug and congratulate them. This has been reported both byHope Solo and the Japanese media as evidence of Miyama's sportsmanship and respect for her opponents.

Miyama was named theAFC Women's Footballer of the Year in2011,[4]2012[5] and2015.

At the2012 Summer Olympics, Miyama led Japan to the silver medal as captain. At the2015 World Cup, she also captained the team and lost in the final to the USA. At the2016 AFC Women's Olympic Qualifying Tournament, Japan failed to qualify for the2016 Summer Olympics. Following the tournament, she retired from the national team. She played 162 matches and scored 38 goals for Japan.
