Yousef Ahmed Ali (Arabic: يوسف أحمد; born 14 October 1988) is a former footballer who plays as a striker.[1] Born in Saudi Arabia, he represented Qatar at international level.[2][3][4][5]
Career
[edit]In 2010, Ahmed won the 2010 Qatari Stars Cup with Al-Sadd. He was the top scorer of the tournament, with 8 goals in 7 games, including the only goal in the final against Umm Salal.[6] He was offered a contract with Belgian club Standard Liège in February 2011, after his brilliant performance in the 2011 Asian Cup, but rejected the offer.[7]
Ahmed was sidelined due to injury for most of the 2010/11 season, as a result he missed Al Sadd's historic triumph in the 2011 AFC Champions League. He returned from injury for the 2011/12 season.
