Welcome to Portland International Forward, Mimi Alidou
We have signed Canadian international forward Marie-Yasmine “Mimi” Alidou via transfer from Portuguese giant S.L. Benfica for an undisclosed fee.
The deal was made prior to the closing of the primary transfer window and will see Alidou signed on with the Thorns through 2026 with a club option for 2027.
Alidou, 29, arrives in Portland after an impressive two-year stint abroad with Benfica. In her debut season with the club in 2023, she led the team in scoring across all competitions with 26 goals (and assisted 3) on the path to winning all four domestic competitions that season as well as cementing Benfica as the first Portuguese side to reach the quarterfinals of the UEFA Women’s Champions League.
