Style of play
Nadim is recognized for her energetic and determined style of play.{{Cite news|url=https://www.mancity.com/news/mcwfc/mcwfc%20news/2017/september/nadia%20nadim%20man%20city%20women%20long%20read|title=Nadia Nadim – An incredible journey...|date=28 September 2017|work=Manchester City Football Club|access-date=2 January 2018|language=en}} She is successful from the penalty spot, having converted all but one of her penalties in the NWSL (and with the one miss being a save by the goalkeeper and immediately scored by Nadim on the rebound) and both of her attempts at Euro 2017.{{Cite news|url=https://www.stumptownfooty.com/2017/12/30/16808732/top-10-thorns-stories-of-2017#458175523|title=Top 10 Thorns Stories of 2017|work=Stumptown Footy|date=30 December 2017|access-date=2 January 2018|archive-date=3 January 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180103073450/https://www.stumptownfooty.com/2017/12/30/16808732/top-10-thorns-stories-of-2017#458175523|url-status=live}}
Controversies
In December 2021, Nadim received criticism in the media for describing Qatar as a nation that helps people in need.{{Cite web|url=https://www.dr.dk/sporten/fodbold/nadia-nadim-faar-kritik-male-skoenmaleri-af-qatar|title=Nadia Nadim får kritik for at 'male skønmaleri' af Qatar|work=www.dr.dk|date=18 December 2021|access-date=15 March 2022|archive-date=5 April 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220405215326/https://www.dr.dk/sporten/fodbold/nadia-nadim-faar-kritik-male-skoenmaleri-af-qatar|url-status=live}} Her positive description of the state was in conflict with the general consensus in the Danish population and the opinion formulated by the Danish FA on the suppression of human rights and poor conditions for migrant workers in Qatar.{{Cite web|url=https://sport.tv2.dk/fodbold/2021-12-18-nadia-nadim-kritiseres-for-rolle-i-pyntet-fortaelling-om-qatar-og-vm|title=Nadia Nadim kritiseres for rolle i "pyntet fortælling om Qatar og VM" - TV 2|work=sport.tv2.dk|date=18 December 2021|access-date=15 March 2022|archive-date=24 December 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211224134647/https://sport.tv2.dk/fodbold/2021-12-18-nadia-nadim-kritiseres-for-rolle-i-pyntet-fortaelling-om-qatar-og-vm|url-status=live}} Subsequently, Nadim denied having received money for her performance in Qatar, which turned out to be untrue when Danish newspaper B.T. found out that she had received payment for attending the education summit in the country.{{Cite web |url=https://www.bt.dk/fodbold/nadim-loej-paa-direkte-tv-modtager-penge-for-qatar-optraeden |title = Nadim løj på direkte tv: Modtager penge for Qatar-optræden |work=www.bt.dk |date = 10 February 2022}}
As a consequence of her role as an ambassador for World Cup in Qatar, Danish Refugee Council removed Nadim from her role as a goodwill ambassador.{{Cite web |url=https://sport.tv2.dk/fodbold/2022-04-11-dansk-flygtningehjaelp-dropper-nadia-nadim |title=Dansk Flygtningehjælp dropper Nadia Nadim |work=sport.tv2.dk |date=11 April 2022 |access-date=12 April 2022 |archive-date=11 April 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220411141355/https://sport.tv2.dk/fodbold/2022-04-11-dansk-flygtningehjaelp-dropper-nadia-nadim |url-status=live }} Nadim stated on her Twitter that her collaboration with the Danish Refugee Council had been inactive since the beginning of 2019.
