H&M Move Sign Women’s Football Legend Nadia Nadim to Play Alongside Zlatan Ibrahimović

In the latest transfer news H&M Move have signed one of women’s football’s best players Nadia Nadim.

She has also represented Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain, where she won the league titles. Nothing has stopped Nadia from moving as she hopes to enable the next generation of talent to follow in her footsteps.

‘I want to help inspire kids to want to play, especially young girls. That’s why I signed for H&M Move as I personally believe in their mission,’

says Nadia Nadim.

Welcoming Nadia to the H&M Move team is fellow football legend Zlatan Ibrahimović.

In her first cap for H&M Move, Nadia takes part in a one on one battle with Zlatan but not all is as it seems. The two footballers take part in a fierce but fun competition, both moving in a way the world has never seen before, with all the action reported by guest football commentator Guy Mowbray. This incredible duo embodies the brand spirit of ‘However You Move’ but in the end only, one can emerge victorious, who will it be?
