Club career

Copenhagen

Daghim first played in Humlebæk Boldklub, before moving to Frederiksberg-based club FA 2000 and later B.93 in the Copenhagen neighbourhood of Østerbro,^[2] before joining the football school of FC Copenhagen in 2012. He made his senior debut on 27 September 2018 in a Danish Cup match against Viby IF, which ended in a 0–3 win for Copenhagen. In the match, he came on as a substitute in the 76th minute for Pieros Sotiriou.^[3][4] On 10 February 2019, Daghim made his Danish Superliga debut in a 6–1 win over OB.^[5] Although he was only utilised twice in the championship round in the following years, he still won the Danish league title with Copenhagen.^[6]

Loan to HamKam

On 20 December 2019, Copenhagen confirmed that Daghim had extended his contract until 2023 and would join Norwegian club HamKam on loan for 2020.^[7] He made his debut for the club on 3 July 2020 in a 2–3 loss to Kongsvinger, after football activities had been resumed as part of the COVID-19 pandemic.^[8] Later that week, he made his first start in a 2–0 loss to Lillestrøm.^[9] He returned to Copenhagen after the season, as HamKam finished in a disappointing 9th place of the second-tier Norwegian First Division.^[10]

Kolding

Daghim signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with Danish second-tier club Kolding IF on 21 January 2021.^[11][12][13] Following the move, Copenhagen sporting director William Kvist stated: "Ahmed is a talented player, but he still had a long way to go before he would become a candidate for permanent playing time with us."^[12] Daghim made his debut for the club on 12 February, coming on as a second-half substitute for fellow January-signing Matthias Verreth in a league match against Helsingør.^[14][15]

On 21 August, during Kolding's 2nd Division match against FA 2000 at the Frederiksberg Idrætspark in Frederiksberg, Daghim collapsed while warming up shortly after the beginning of the second half.^[16] A doctor was present among the spectators, who oversaw Daghim, before an ambulance transported him to Bispebjerg Hospital.^[17] The match was suspended following the incident, and Kolding IF wrote on their official Twitter account that Daghim was "fine under the circumstances".^[18]

His contract got terminated by request on 5 July 2022.^[19]

B.93

On 8 July 2022, Daghim signed for Danish 2nd Division club B.93.^[20] He made his debut for the club on 29 July, coming on as a substitute in a first-round Danish Cup loss to Roskilde.^[21] On 27 August, he scored his first goal for 93, helping the team to a 3–2 home victory against his former club, Kolding, with an impressive goal from outside the box.^[22]

International career

Born in Denmark, Daghim is of Palestinian descent. He is a youth international for Denmark.^[23] In November 2022, he was selected for the Palestine under-23s.^[24] He made his debut for Palestine U23 on 19 November 2022 in a friendly against Kuwait U23, scoring on a penalty kick on his debut in a 2–1 win.^[25]
