She has scored 38 goals in 98 appearances for Denmark, and last season helped French giants Paris Saint-Germain lift the Ligue 1 trophy.Undoubtedly an inspiration to thousands of Afghan girls, Nadim is lost for words when asked what the future may hold for women's football in Afghanistan. Days after taking power, the Taliban promised that women in Afghanistan would have the right to work and be educated. But Nadim says she does not believe the group has changed."I don't think so. I think they are the wolves that have disguised themselves as sheep right now and their true colours are going to come through. I don't think their core values have changed and their core values was the reason me and my family left the country.
"If you see what's happening in airports and people trying to hang on planes and falling out of skies, no one would react that way if you weren't scared."In 2019 Nadia Nadim said she wanted to return to Afghanistan to inspire girls in the country Pic: AP
