Afghan-born Nadia Nadim returns to Danish team for Euros

SPORTS 20.06.2025

Former Denmark star Nadia Nadim will make her return to the national team for the women's Euro 2025 tournament after an 18-month absence, the Danish Football Association announced Friday.

The Afghan-born forward, who plays for Hammarby in the Swedish league after stints with Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain and AC Milan, last appeared for Denmark against Germany in 2023.

"We see Nadia as a player capable of making a difference for us. She also has experience in major tournaments, which I believe could be valuable for the squad," coach Andree Jeglertz told public television DR.

The 37-year-old medical graduate arrived in Denmark at the age of 12 after her father was assassinated by the Taliban.

She finished runner-up with Denmark at Euro 2017, scoring from the penalty spot in a 4-2 defeat to hosts the Netherlands.

The Women's Euro 2025 tournament will be held in Switzerland from July 2 to 27.
