Adam Daghim

Youth career

Both Daghim brothers began playing football together at FA 2000, a club in Frederiksberg. As Adam's talent became apparent the brothers progressed to KB, where training became more structured and competitive. He was subsequently recruited into the FC Copenhagen elite youth academy, where scouts were already familiar with the family through Ahmed's prior time at the club. His father and elder brother would compile video clips of his performances for the family to review together on the living room sofa, and Adam later credited his brother with repeatedly telling him that "with the right attitude and hard work, you can achieve incredible things". When he found his playing time limited in Copenhagen's first-year under-17 squad, it opened the opportunity to join AGF, and he relocated to Aarhus in 2021, moving into a dormitory near the club's training ground at Fredensvang.

AGF

Daghim became the youngest AGF player to appear in the Danish Superliga when he made his debut on 3 April 2022, coming on as a substitute for the final 20 minutes in a 0–0 draw with Vejle. In the same month, he signed his first professional contract with the club.

Red Bull Salzburg

On 30 August 2023, Daghim joined Red Bull Salzburg for a reported fee of approximately €3 million on an initial contract until June 2026. He was initially deployed as a cooperation player at Salzburg's affiliate club FC Liefering in the Austrian 2. Liga, where he scored four goals and…

Daghim has represented Denmark at under-18, under-19 and under-21 level. He first appeared for the under-18 team in 2022 and progressed to the under-21s in 2024. On 31 May 2026, Daghim was called up to the senior Denmark squad by manager Brian Riemer as a replacement for the injured Gustav Isaksen. He made his senior debut on 3 June, starting on the right wing in a 0–0 friendly draw with DR Congo in Liège. Reviewing his performance, the former international and pundit Morten Bruun wrote that Daghim had begun brightly but faded after the break, and judged that he was not yet at international level despite his potential. Through his Palestinian descent, Daghim is also eligible to represent Palestine at international level.

Daghim was born on 28 September 2005 in Vanløse, a district of Copenhagen. His father is Palestinian and his mother is from Libya; his family is of Palestinian heritage, and he is eligible to represent Palestine at senior international level. He is the younger brother of professional footballer Ahmed Daghim, five years his senior and also a natural winger, who introduced him to organised football from an early age. Daghim has described having had his own "demons" early in his career, struggling when things did not go his way on the pitch, and cited his father's advice—"You won't go far if you don't conquer yourself"—as a guiding influence in overcoming them. In 2021, his brother Ahmed suffered a cardiac episode and collapsed during a match while Adam was warming up for a youth fixture in Esbjerg. Learning of it ten minutes before kick-off, Adam chose to play the game, his side winning 2–1 with his two assists, before travelling to the hospital. He described his family's response as characteristically forward-looking: "We must not dwell too much in the past. We must always look forward."
