Liberia Women’s national team player Mimi Eiden has put pen to paper on her first professional football contract.
Eiden signed a contract with Icelandic club, MFL Kvenna Grindavik and will be in Iceland by mid-February to play for Grindavik FC, a city located on the southwest coast of the island.
The youngster becomes the fourth player who has come through Citowicki’s program to go on to sign a professional contract.
Eiden, who played three years at North Dakota before transferring to Montana, arrived in Missoula at the 2019-20 semester break.
She, however, wait until the spring of 2021 to play her final collegiate season.
Eiden scored a goal and provided two assists in 11 matches as Montana went 9-2-0, to win the Big Sky and advanced to the NCAA tournament.
The versatile female player who dreams was to represent her country of birth featured in a pair of matches for Liberia women’s national team against Senegal in the 2022 Africa Women’s Cup of Nations qualifiers at the Antoinette Tubman Stadium and in Senegal as well.
She accomplished that goal and was very excited.
“It was really good to go back where I came from and see my mom and my siblings after 16 years. That was awesome,” Eiden said.
“When I was younger, I wanted to play Division I soccer, then play for my country, then play for a professional club team. It’s always been on my list,” Eiden added.
“This is a really good opportunity. I love soccer, and as long as I’m still loving it, I’m going to chase it and keep playing. Whatever God gives you at the time, grab it and make the best you can with it.” She concluded.
