Club career

[edit]

Ali grew up in Tensta and started playing football at the age of eight in Spånga IS.[3] At the end of 2013, he joined Sundbybergs IK at the age of 15.[4] Ali scored three goals in 11 games for the club in Division 2 in 2017. He then played two years in IFK Stocksund. For the 2020 season, Ali was signed by Sollentuna FK. He scored 10 goals and as many assists in 29 games in the 2020 Ettan Norra, where Sollentuna finished in third place.[5]

In February 2021, Ali was signed by Örebro SK, where he signed a three-year contract.[6] Ali made his Allsvenskan debut on 24 May 2021 in a 2–1 loss to Malmö FF, where he was substituted in the 84th minute.[7] After scant playing time (three competitive games in total), Ali was loaned out to Superettan club Västerås SK in August 2021 on a loan deal for the remainder of the season.[8] The loan was a success for Ali, who scored two goals and eight assists in 15 games, helping Västerås stay in Superettan.[9] He was also awarded the VLT prize as Västerås' best athlete in 2021, becoming the first footballer from Västerås SK to win the award.

In February 2022, Ali was signed by Helsingborg, where he signed a four-year contract.[10] In January 2023, he joined fellow Swedish club Malmö FF,[11] where he won his first league title in November later that year.[12]
