Nouri was born in Sulaymaniyah, Iraq [5]] to Kurdish parents and moved with his family to Sweden as a child. He started his football career at Vasalunds before joining AIK at the age of 13. He won the JSM final with AIK and where he scored in the final against Västra Frölunda.
He made his A-team debut in AIK on 7 October 2005, against Falkenbergs in the Superettan. In 2006 he was with AIK's A-team but was loaned to Åtvidabergs.[3] He returned to AIK after the season but then he was loaned out again, this time to Väsby United in 2007. In total, Nouri played three league matches in the Superettan, a match in the Svenska cupen and 16 training matches for AIK.
Prior to the 2009 season, Nouri signed for Dalkurd. In November 2011, he extended his contract with the club for two years.
In 2014, Brwa Nouri signed for Östersund, a team playing in the Superettan, the 2nd tier of Swedish football. He played his first game in the league against Ljungskile on 6 April 2014. Nouri quickly established himself as a vital part of the squad, and was the vice-captain of the club. Östersund finished the season in 5th place. In the next season, they finished second in the league table, and were promoted to the Allsvenskan. In their first season in the Allsvenskan, Brwa Nouri captained the team to an 8th-place finish and a historic Svenska Cupen victory, which saw them qualify to the Europa League qualifiers the following season.
ÖFK improved on their result the following season, finishing 5th in the Swedish league. ÖFK made headlines all around the world as they qualified to the group stages after defeating giants Galatasaray, where Brwa Nouri scored, Fola Esch, and PAOK, where Nouri also scored.[6] ÖFK were drawn in group J alongside Athletic Bilbao, Hertha BSC, and Zorya Luhansk. ÖFK finished second in the group, level on points with Bilbao. Nouri became the first Iraqi to score in the Europa League when he scored the winner against Hertha Berlin.[7] ÖFK were knocked out by Arsenal in the round of 32.[8]
Nouri was born in Sulaymaniyah, Iraq [9] to an Iraqi-Kurdish family. He was raised in Sweden and played for their youth national teams,[10][11] but switched to the Iraq national team for World Cup Qualifiers in October 2016.[12] Nouri made his formal debut for Iraq in a 0–0 friendly tie with Jordan.[13][14] He played in Iraq for the first time ever on 5 October 2017, where he scored his first goal for Iraq.
