COPENHAGEN: 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.
