Early life

[edit | edit source]

Born in Somalia, Ali moved to Canada at a young age.[1] He began playing youth football with Earl Grey Community Centre.[2] From 2005 to 2009, he played with Winnipeg South End United SC.[3] In 2010, he began playing with WSA Winnipeg.[3] He also played for the Manitoba provincial team in 2009 and 2011.[3] In 2011, he joined the Vancouver Whitecaps Academy.[3] After returning to WSA Winnipeg, he returned to the Whitecaps Academy in 2014.[3] In 2013, he was awarded the Manitoba Soccer Special Achievement Award.[2]

College career

[edit | edit source]

In 2015, he attended Tyler Junior College, where he played for the men's soccer team.[4][5] He scored two goals in his debut over Jacksonville College on August 29.[6] With Tyler, he advanced to the national finals, where they were defeated by the Louisburg College Hurricances.[7]

In 2017, he began attending the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology.[8] He made his debut on September 9, scoring all four goals in a 4-1 victory over the University of Alberta-Augustana, earning Player of the Game honours.[9]

Club career

[edit | edit source]

From 2011 to 2013, he played for WSA Winnipeg in the Premier Development League.[10] In 2014, while with the Vancouver Whitecaps Academy, he also played with the Vancouver Whitecaps U23 in the PDL. Afterwards, he returned to WSA Winnipeg.[citation needed]

In 2017, Musse began playing for the Calgary Foothills. In the season debut on May 5, 2017, he scored the winning goal in a 4-3 victory over the TSS FC Rovers.[11] He helped the team reach the PDL final in 2017.[12][13] In 2018, he scored five goals in four playoff games as the Foothills won the PDL title, including scoring two goals in extra time in the championship final victory over Reading United AC.[14][15]

In February 2019, Musse signed a professional contract with Canadian Premier League club Valour FC, from his hometown of Winnipeg.[16][17] FC Edmonton had also sought to sign him, with his family now based out of Edmonton, but he chose to return to Winnipeg and sign with Valour to re-unite with head coach Rob Gale who he had played for during his time in the Canada national team program.[18][19] He scored his first goal on June 2, 2019 against FC Edmonton in a 1-0 victory.[20] Ahead of the 2020 season, he was released by the club.[21][22]

In 2020, he signed with German club 1. FCA Darmstadt in the seventh-tier Gruppenliga.[23]

In June 2021, Musse returned to Calgary and signed with Canadian club Cavalry FC on a one-year contract.[24] On July 14, 2022, he scored a brace in a 3-0 victory over HFX Wanderers FC.[25] He missed much of his first season due to injury.[26] On October 2, 2022, he scored the winning goal in a 2-1 victory over Valour FC to clinch a playoff spot for the club.[27][28] Musse led the club in scoring in 2022 with seven goals and four assists, across all competitions.[29] In January 2023, Musse signed a new two-year deal with Cavalry, with an option for 2025.[30][31] At the end of the 2023 season, Musse won the CPL Player's Player of the Year award[32][33] and was named to the CPL Best XI.[34] On August 3, 2024, he scored a brace in a 2-1 victory over Atlético Ottawa, in his first match following a three-month absence due to injury.[35]
