Early career

FC Copenhagen reserves

Mohammad Ali switched to F.C. Copenhagen reserves team in the spring of 2010 amidst the 2009–10 Danish 2nd Divisions. [1] His move costed B.93 the promotion, as B.93 lost the first game in 2010 by 1–2 away in Peter Bangs Vej, with Ali scoring both goals for FCK, and Bashkim Kadrii scoring the lone goal for B.93. [1]

Køge

With chances of breaking into the senior team bleak, Ali then linked up with Køge in the Danish 1st Division in 2011, where he helped them gain promotion to the Danish SuperLiga until he received an 8-month injury. [1]

Return to B.93

In January 2016, Ali moved back to his former club B93 on a one-season deal. [5] He was signed as replacement for the team's top scorer Olcay Senoglu, who had moved to Fremad Amager. [1] At the end of the year, his contract was renewed for an additional season. [7] Ali left the club by the end of 2017. [8]

Later career

In 2018, he signed for Greve Fodbold, where he was joined by national team fellow goalkeeper Yousuf Butt. He moved to Ishoj in 2019, [9] until signing for Tårnby FF in September 2021. [10] [11] He stayed in the club until his eventual retirement in February 2023. [12]

International career
