Miri O'Donnell (born August 1, 2006) is an American professional soccer player who plays as a forward for Campeonato Nacional Feminino club Sporting CP.
O'Donnell was born in Japan while her father was stationed there with the United States Navy. She took after her older siblings and began playing soccer when she was four. Her family moved often and later settled in San Ramon, California, where she attended Dougherty Valley High School. In the Bay Area, she played for youth clubs including Mustang FC, FC Bay Area Surf, and MVLA Soccer Club. She also played for USL W League club San Francisco Glens. She sustained her first anterior cruciate ligament injury when she was 15. She committed to play college soccer for Wake Forest during her senior year.
Portuguese club Sporting CP announced on August 14, 2024, that they had signed O'Donnell to her first professional contract on a three-year deal. She made her professional debut as a late substitute in a 1âÂÂ0 win over Damaiense on October 13. On November 16, she scored her first professional goal to conclude a 8âÂÂ0 rout against Albergaria. Her debut season saw her return 3 goals from 20 appearances in all competitions as Sporting was the league runner-up to Benfica. However, the season ended sourly when the 18-year-old suffered her second ACL tear in the league finale against MarÃÂtimo on May 11, 2025.
O'Donnell was called up to the United States under-17 team in 2023. She was later an alternate to the under-19 squad that won bronze at the 2023 Pan American Games.
O'Donnell is partly of Japanese descent.
