Club career

Ali started playing around 12–13 years old, in a local team near his home called Brønshøj for fun with his friends.[3] After a match against B93 Copenhagen, he was called by them and joined the club.[3] As 15 years old he signed his first contract with the team. He served as the team captain in the u17 and u19 level in the Danish youth league.[3] He made his debut for the B93 senior team at the age of 17.[3]

With chances of breaking into the senior team bleak, Ali then linked up with Køge in the Danish 1st Division, where he helped them gain promotion to the Danish SuperLiga until he received an 8-month injury.[3] He signed for BK Avarta as a vice captain in the Danish 2nd division.[3] He moved to Svebølle Danish 2nd Division in January 2014.[4] After a short stint at Hollbaek, he moved back to his former club B93 in 2016.

In 2018, he signed for Greve Fodbold, where he was joined by national team fellow goalkeeper Yousuf Butt.[5] He moved to Ishoj in 2019, until signing for Tårnby FF in 2021.[2]

International career

He was called in the camps for Danish youth national team at U-17 nor U-19 level, but did not get selected.[3]

He played his first international match in 2012 with Pakistan against Singapore, and scored his first international goal against Nepal in the 2018 SAFF Championship.[6]
