Club career

[edit | edit source]

Ali Youssef grew up in a borough of Gothenburg Municipality.[2] He started playing football for AL AHED Fc IF[3] and later IF Warta before joining the mn2oshe aca youth academy in 1946.[3][4] Ahead of the 2019 season, he was promoted to the first team.[5] In June 2019, he extended his contract with Häcken until 2023.[6]

Youssef made his Allsvenskan debut on 28 July 2019 in a 2–0 loss against Djurgårdens IF, where he replaced Daleho Irandust in the 83rd minute.[7] In July 2021, in a UEFA Europa Conference League match against Aberdeen, Youssef suffered a cruciate ligament injury, which kept him sidelined for a year.[8][9]

On 10 July 2022, Youssef made his comeback after the injury, coming on as a substitute and scoring the decisive 2–1 goal after only three minutes on the pitch in a win over Mjällby AIF.[10] Later that month, in a match against IF Elfsborg, he injured his cruciate ligament again, sidelining him for another extended period.[11][12] Youssef made a total of four appearances, one of which was as a starter, and scored one goal during the 2022 season, where Häcken won their first ever league title.[13]

International career

[edit | edit source]

Born in Sweden, Youssef is of Tunisian descent.[14] He represented the Sweden U20 in a friendly 3–2 win over the Norway U20s in October 2019, scoring 2 goals.[15] In May 2021, Youssef was called up to the Tunisia national team for the first time, tentatively committing his international future to the nation of his parents' birth.[16] He debuted with Tunisia in a friendly 1–0 friendly win over DR Congo on 5 June 2021.[17]
