=US Créteil=

When Nedim turned 10, he began playing handball in his fathers club, US Créteil, where his father works as a board member.{{Cite web|url=https://goinsports.wordpress.com/2016/01/15/nedim-remili-letoile-montante/|title=Nedim Remili : L'étoile montante|last=willcouvreur|date=15 January 2016|website=GO IN SPORTS|access-date=13 January 2017}} Remili showed a lot of qualities while in the academy of US Créteil and reached a height of 1.95 meter at the age of 16. Remili made his debut for the first team of US Créteil on 12 October 2012, at the age of 17, during a league game against USDK Dunkerque. During the same year, Créteil were relegated to the Handball D2, the second-tier league of France. Despite interest from some of the biggest clubs in French handball, Remili signed his first professional contract in 2013 with US Créteil.{{cn|date=June 2025}}

The following season (2013–14), in the Handball D2, Remili became a key player in the squad of US Créteil, and helped them to return to the LNH 1. Remili was called up to the national France youth team for the 2015 Men's Junior World Championship, but a shoulder injury forced him to watch the championship at home, as France became world champions.

=First National team call up=

During the 2015–16 season, Remili performed amazingly for US Créteil, which earned him a call-up to the All-Star Game and to the France national team for the 2016 European Championship.

In 2016 he joined Paris Saint-Germain Handball, where he won his first trophy: the Trophée des Champions in his first season. Later the same season he also won the French Championship.

He then repeated his impressive performances and was selected for the French national team for the 2017 World Men's Handball Championship. Playing on home soil, the French team won the title, as Remili was voted best right-back of the competition.{{cite web|title=France 2017 All-star Team|url=https://archive.ihf.info/en-us/mediacentre/news/newsdetails.aspx?ID=4845|publisher=IHF|access-date=29 January 2017|date=29 January 2017}}
