Milene Domingues Aganzo (born 18 June 1979), also known as Mika, is 🧾 a Brazilian former footballer who played as a midfielder.

Career [ edit ]

Born in São Paulo, Domingues played in a promotional 🧾 futsal team of models run by the Flash Book modeling agency.[1] In 1994 this team formed the basis of a 🧾 new SC Corinthians women's team.[2] She finished her playing career with CF Pozuelo de Alarcón. The ex-model holds the women's 🧾 record for ball juggling.[3] Until the £400,000 transfer of Keira Walsh to Barcelona in 2024, Domingues was the most expensive 🧾 female football player in Spain, costing over £200,000, and second in the world behind Pernille Harder, who cost £250,000.[4]

At international 🧾 level she was included in the Brazil women's national football team for the 2003 FIFA Women's World Cup. Her inclusion 🧾 was somewhat surprising and coach Paulo Gonçalves emphasised that she was not a first choice: "Milene is going with us, 🧾 but she is between the 19th and 20th player."[5] Despite Milene's poor physical conditioning, Brazil's selectors felt she would attract 🧾 interest from the media and public.[6] She remained an unused substitute in all four matches as Brazil were eliminated in 🧾 the quarter finals.[7]
