Yusef Ahmed Ali (Arabic: يوسف أحمد‎‎; born 14 October 1988) is a Qatari international footballer who plays as a striker for Al-Sadd. Ahmed was born in Saudi Arabia.[1] He began playing football in the streets of Jeddah, but eventually left Saudi Arabia due to the lack of possibility of obtaining citizenship. He then emigrated to Qatar and played with the youth teams of Al-Sadd before obtaining Qatari citizenship.[2] He is known for his speed and pace, earning him the nickname "The fastest man in Asia".[3][4][5]

Career

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 Liege in February 2011, after his brilliant performance in the 2011 Asian Cup, but rejected the offer.[7]

Ahmed was sidelined with 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.
