Profile: Mohammad Ali KARIMI, #8
Mohammad Ali Karimi Pashaki the wizard of Tehran burst into the international football arena when he had a splendid debut for Team Melli in a friendly match versus Kuwait and capped a successful year by scoring for his country in the final of the Asian Games and winning the Gold Medal.
His mesmerizing runs, driving style, and outrageous skill have alerted the likes of Perugia of Italy and Atletico Madrid of Spain to the potential of the 22-year-old Perspolis striker. But Karimi chose a foreign club much closer to home by joining Al Ahli of Dubai.
The remarkable rise of Ali Karimi has been given that before joining the Persépolis at the start of the 1998-99 season he was at Second Division Fath, where training was conducted on the streets with a plastic ball.

AL Ahli a pedigree team in the UAE league, but one that missed on silverware for a long time, managed to win its first trophy thanks to Karimi when they became the Winners of the President Cup in the 2001-2002 season.
In what is arguably the best performance of his career, Karimi was the star of the show in the Asian Cup 2004 where he helped Iran win 3rd place and scored 5 goals as a joint top scorer. Unfortunately, despite his exceptional performance, the corridor of power elected a Japanese player as the tournament MVP.
