Ali Faez Atiyah (Template:Lang-ar; born 9 September 1994) is an Iraqi football defender and an Olympian [2] who plays for Al-Shorta SC and the Iraqi national team. He has established himself as a 'dead ball' specialist or setpiece taker.[3]

Club career

The former graduate of the Ammo Baba Football School was born in 1994 and first made his league debut for Al-Talaba and then Al-Karkh where he became a regular in one of the Iraqi league’s youngest team before he moved north to four-time Iraqi league winners Erbil SC half-way through the 2012-2013 season for a one and a half year deal worth 40m Iraqi dinars.[4] before he joined Al Shorta.

Ali has played at every age group level for the Iraqi national team from U-14s to the senior team and by the age of just 21 had already represented Iraq at the Asian Cup, the WAFF Championship and the Gulf Cup.[5]

In July 2016 Ali signed for Turkish Team Çaykur Rizespor. However, after a season which saw limited playing time and a relegation from the Süper Lig, Ali Made his debut in Center Back for Çaykur Rizespor on August 20, 2016, as a center back playing the full 90 Minutes vs Konyaspor. Ali requested to leave the club, which was granted by a loan to former club Al Shorta.

In June 2018, he signed a one year contract with Al Kharaitiyat SC.[6]

Ali supported Al-Zawraa while he was growing up and cites Spanish midfielder Xabi Alonso as his favourite player and is a Real Madrid fan.[4] The defender, a dead-ball specialist, taking both free-kicks and penalties, can be deployed in the centre of defence, at right back and as a defensive midfielder.

International career

Ali is one of a select few to have played at every level for Iraq from Ishbal (Cubs) to the senior side after making his international debut last year in the 6-0 defeat to Chile in Copenhagen.[4] On 14 August 2013, Ali played his first international match for Iraq against Chile in a friendly match.[7] When he was handed his international debut by Serbian Vladimir Petrović in 2013 at the age of 18 years, 11 months and 5 days, he became one of the youngest players to represent Iraq.[5] However, he was given a baptism of fire in his first game when he came up against Chilean stars Alexis Sánchez and Arturo Vidal – a game which ended in a 6-0 defeat at the Brøndby Stadion in Copenhagen.[5] Ali scored his first goal for the senior side against Qatar in the Arabian Gulf Cup with a sublime free-kick.,[8] he scored a penalty on the following match to score in two back to back games.[9]
