Something pulling me forward | Nadia Nadim | TEDxAmsterdamWomen
Born and raised in Afghanistan, Afghan-Danish striker for Manchester City Nadia Nadim knows as no other what it means to build a new life in a new country. Football became Nadia’s obsession and she dreamt about becoming a football star every night. “For the first time self-esteem I has something pulling me forward.” Years later, when an important exam was on the same day as an important football camp, Nadia was told that she couldn’t be a doctor and a football player. She had to choose between one of them. Born and raised in Afghanistan, Afghan Danish Nadia Nadim knows as none other what it means to build a new life in a new country. After the death of her father at the hands of the Taliban, her family decided to escape Afghanistan, as it was not a safe place for a family of six women. They found their way into Italy and Nadia eventually found herself between the hills and trees of Denmark, the country she now calls home.
Excelling in football Nadia quickly rose to the highest ranks of women’s football in the country joining the Danish National Team and has since then proudly represented her country 73 times.
