Nadia Nadim (Persian: نادیه ندیم; born 2 January 1988) is an Afghan-Danish professional footballer who plays as a striker for Serie A club AC Milan. Born in Afghanistan, she plays for the Denmark national team.

Nadim is considered the most influential and greatest Afghan female footballer of all time, particularly because she won leagues in two countries, the USA league title (NWSL Championship) in 2017 with the Portland Thorns and the French league title in the 2020–21 season with Paris Saint-Germain.[2]
