Career
Mirian was part of the Equatorial Guinea women's national football team at the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup.{{cite web|url=https://www.fifa.com/womensworldcup/teams/team=1888631/squadlist.html |title=Official squad list 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup |date=17 June 2011 |work=FIFA |accessdate=17 June 2011 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110712204415/http://www.fifa.com/womensworldcup/teams/team%3D1888631/squadlist.html |archivedate=12 July 2011 |url-status=dead }} She started all the three matches Equatorial Guinea played in the competition. The "Nzalang Nacional" ended losing all the matches they played in the group stage and didn't qualify for the World Cup's knockout stage.{{cite web |last1=Carvalho |first1=Beatriz |last2=Ricard |first2=Caio |title=Conheça Miriam Paixão, goleira do Fortaleza que já defendeu a Seleção da Guiné Equatorial |url=https://globoesporte.globo.com/ce/futebol/times/fortaleza/noticia/conheca-miriam-paixao-goleira-do-fortaleza-que-ja-defendeu-a-selecao-da-guine-equatorial.ghtml |website=GloboEsporte.com |date=20 October 2020 |access-date=17 January 2021 |language=Portuguese}} This was the only time, to date, the team played the competition. The squad was filled with Brazilian-born players (9 in total) and a FIFA posterior investigation found the "Equatorial Guinea Football Association liable for the use of forged or falsified documents", banning them from competing at the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup and the 2020 Summer Olympics.{{cite web |title=Equatorial Guinea expelled from Women's Olympic Football Tournament 2020 |url=https://www.fifa.com/who-we-are/news/equatorial-guinea-expelled-from-women-s-olympic-football-tournament-20-2780643 |website=FIFA.com |access-date=17 January 2021}} Moreover, on October 5, 2017, FIFA declared Mirian and other nine Brazilian footballers ineligible to play for Equatorial Guinea.{{cite web |title=Equatorial Guinea expelled from FIFA Women's World Cup France 2019 |url=https://www.fifa.com/who-we-are/news/equatorial-guinea-expelled-from-fifa-women-s-world-cup-france-2019-2910394 |website=FIFA.com |access-date=17 January 2021}}
