Hussein Ali

Born in Malmö, Sweden, Hussein Ali was trained by his hometown club, the Malmö FF, but did not play any matches for the first team. In August 2019, at the age of 17, he joined Örebro SK, and made this choice because of the strong competition in Malmö and considering that he would have more chances in Örebro. He made his first professional appearance for Örebro in a Allsvenskan match against IFK Norrköping on 21 September 2019. On 19 July 2022, Ali joined Eredivisie side Heerenveen on a three-year contract. On 18 September 2025, Ali signed a three-year deal with Ekstraklasa club Pogoń Szczecin.

Ali represented Sweden at youth international level. In August 2023, he officially switched allegiances to Iraq, and received his first call-up to the senior national team for the 2023 King's Cup. He was one of twenty-six Iraqi players selected by Jesús Casas to compete in the 2023 AFC Asian Cup.
