Ali Ahmed Mabkhout Mohsen Al Hajeri (Arabic: علي أحمد مبخوت محسن الهاجري; born 5 October 1990) is an Emirati professional association football player who plays as a forward for UAE Pro League club Al-Nasr and the United Arab Emirates national team.
Coming through the youth system, Mabkhout made his debut for Al Jazira's first team in 2009.
Club career
[edit]Mabkhout made his AFC Champions League debut against Al Ittihad on 22 April 2009, after coming on as a substitute.[4] On 19 May 2009, he scored his first Asian Champions League goal in the 49th minute against Esteghlal in a 2–2 draw.[5]
Mabkhout formed a partnership with Ricardo Oliveira, his teammate from 2009 to 2014; this partnership was said to contribute towards the development of Mabkhout's talents in his formative years.[6]
International career
[edit]In the quarter-final of the 2015 AFC Asian Cup, Mabkhout scored the opening goal of a 1–1 draw with Japan at Stadium Australia in Sydney; he went on to convert his penalty kick as the UAE defeated the defending champions 5–4 in a penalty shootout.[7]
During the 2019 AFC Asian Cup quarter-finals hosted by the United Arab Emirates, Mabkhout netted the only goal in a 1–0 victory over defending champions Australia, which qualified his country to the semi-finals.[8]
On 10 October 2019, Mabkhout scored a hat-trick against Indonesia in a 5–0 win to become UAE's all-time leading goalscorer.[9][note 1]
Mabkhout was called up for the 2023 AFC Asian Cup in Qatar, yet he surprisingly was not able to feature in any match during the competition under coach Paulo Bento.[11]
