On 26 March 1995, while playing in Lebanon for Ansar, Nakhid played a friendly against the Egypt national team as part of a "select" team of Nejmeh and Ansar players.[4] The match ended 1–1, with Nakhid scoring his side's only goal.[4]

On 16 October 2015, he announced that he had the five nominations from football associations to become a FIFA President candidate.[6] Twelve days later, his campaign was over after it was found that U.S. Virgin Islands Soccer Federation had nominated two candidates, both nominations had been declared null by FIFA but the other unnamed candidate had more than the minimum five nominations and was able to continue his campaign.[7] Nakhid announced his decision to appeal.[8]
