No. 9
Nadia Nadim. Forward, Danish international, HB Køge Women’s number 9. Signed on again in July 2026, two months after the double. Scored in the Champions League qualifier against Riga FC on 5 August 2026 — the comeback goal in a 4–1.
The photograph is her goal celebration at Køge Idrætspark. On this site it is printed four times over itself — pale, lime, ultramarine, black — each copy knocked a little further up and to the left. A jump, as a motion study.
