Kyah Pam Simon (born 25 June 1991) is an Australian professional soccer striker. In 2011, Simon became the first Indigenous Australian player to score a goal in a FIFA World Cup. She most recently played for the Boston Breakers in the American National Women's Soccer League, having previously played for Sydney FC, Central Coast Mariners, and Western Sydney Wanderers in the Australian W-League.
Growing up amongst a family of rugby players in Quakers Hill, New South Wales, near Sydney, Australia, Simon began playing football for the Quakers Hill under-8s and fell in love with the game. As a youth, she played at for the Hills Brumbies before moving across to Penrith Nepean United. At age fifteen, she broke her leg just on the verge of earning a scholarship with the NSW Institute of Sport, but that did not deter her from pursuing her dream. She made her national debut for the Australia women's national soccer team the following year at age 16.
Kyah made her debut for the Central Coast Mariners against Melbourne Victory on Saturday, 25 October 2008. Kyah then made her scoring debut during Round 3 against Canberra United, scoring a double to assist the Mariners to a 2–1 win away from home.
Simon joined Sydney FC for the 2009 W-League Season, playing in the first round against former club the Central Coast Mariners.
