Denmark’s squad for the European Championships will be taken out on June 16.
Then the big star Nadia Nadim can be on one condition.
– It is clear that she should go out and give some answers, national team captain Lars Sondergaard tells DR.
Nadia Nadim, 34, posted a controversial post on Instagram on April 1. But it wasn’t an April Fool’s joke.
Then the Danish football star announced that she is one of the ambassadors for the Winter World Cup in Qatar. This led to criticism, including from the Danish Football Players Association.
– We in the players union are moving away from the World Cup finals. Among other things, based on how Qatar won the World Cup through corruption, how it deals with migrant workers, their views on LGBT people and so on, association director Michael Sahel told Ritzau news agency.
Nadia Nadim’s request
Nadia Nadim is currently treating a cruciate ligament injury, but even if she manages to recover from the European Championships, it is not certain that she will be selected in the Denmark squad. Federation leader Lars Sondergaard has one demand: it should comment on its role in Qatar.
– If selected, it must express itself. I think she can and will want to do the same, Söndergaard tells Dr.
I hope that if she answers satisfactorily and is chosen, you can put her aside and accept differences and differing opinions.
He states that it is necessary for Nadim – who has scored 38 goals in 99 international matches – to speak.
-Obviously she should go out and give some answers, says Söndergaard.
It should be black and white.
DR contacted Nadim’s Swedish agent, Michael Kalback, who announced that she did not want to comment.
But on Christmas Eve last year, Nadim published a long text in which she responded to criticism she herself received for expressing herself positively to Qatar.
“The sure thing in this case is that everything has to be black and white. If Qatar does something good, it is propaganda and everything bad is real. The reality, which I have spent time studying and understanding, is much more complex.”Nadim Books Twitter.
