Mia Hamm Trivia Questions

She was inducted into the National Soccer Hall of Fame in 2007, but the World Football Hall of Fame doesn't exist; FIFA's Hall of Fame inducted her later.

The U.S. Soccer Federation has not retired any jersey numbers; players still wear number 9, and Hamm herself wore it as a tribute to her brother.

FIFA named her the Female Player of the Century in 2000, alongside Pelé as Male Player of the Century, though many fans expected a different choice.

Mia Hamm was born in Selma, Alabama, but her family moved frequently due to her father's Air Force career; she grew up mostly in Texas and California.

She was offered a cameo as herself in the 2002 film but declined due to training commitments for the 2003 World Cup; she later appeared in 'She's the Man.'

She held the record for most international goals by any player (158) until Abby Wambach and later Cristiano Ronaldo surpassed it, but she still holds the U.S. women's record for assists.

She scored her first World Cup goal in 1992 at age 20 against China, helping the U.S. win the inaugural FIFA Women's World Cup that year.

In the 1999 World Cup semifinal against Brazil, she played with a fractured scaphoid bone in her wrist, which she hid from coaches until after the match.
