Ali Gholizadeh Nojedeh (Persian: علی قلی‌زاده, romanized: 'Ali Qolizâde; born 10 March 1996) is an Iranian professional footballer who plays as a winger for Ekstraklasa club Lech Poznań and the Iran national team.

Gholizadeh is a product of the Saipa youth system and broke into the club's first team at 18. He went on to play for five seasons at Saipa before transferring to Belgian side Charleroi in 2018. He has represented Iran at every level, debuting for the senior national team in March 2018 under then-head coach Carlos Queiroz.

Club career

[edit]

Saipa

[edit]

Gholizadeh started his career with Saipa youth levels. He was promoted to the first team by Engin Firat and made his debut for Saipa in last fixture of 2013–14 Iran Pro League against Saba Qom as a substitute.[2] After scoring six times in 28 games, Gholizadeh was named the Persian Gulf Pro League Young Player of the Season for 2017–18.

Charleroi

[edit]

On 30 May 2018, Gholizadeh joined Belgian First Division A club Charleroi, joining compatriot Omid Noorafkan.[3][4] Gholizadeh scored his first goal for the club on 25 November 2018 in a league match against Lokeren. In January 2020, Gholizadeh extended his contract with Charleroi until June 2024.[5]

Loan to Kasımpaşa

[edit]

On 2 February 2023, Gholizadeh was loaned to Kasımpaşa in Turkey, with an option to buy.[6]

Lech Poznań

[edit]

On 10 July 2023, Polish Ekstraklasa side Lech Poznań announced the signing of Gholizadeh on a three-year contract,[7] for a reported club record fee of approximately €1.8 million.[8] Initially expected to make a debut in August that year,[9] his prolonged recovery from a knee injury suffered in March kept Gholizadeh out of play until 31 October, when he entered the pitch in the 65th minute of a 0–4 away win over Zawisza Bydgoszcz in the round of 32 of the Polish Cup.[10] After suffering another knee injury which required surgery in a goalless draw against Stal Mielec on 1 April 2024, Gholizadeh was ruled out for the remainder of the season.[11] Overall, in his first season in Poland, he made a total of 13 appearances across all competitions, without scoring or providing an assist.

In his second season with the club, Gholizadeh was mainly used as a substitute in the early stages before establishing himself as a starter in Niels Frederiksen's line-up in late 2024. He scored eight goals and made five assists in 33 league appearances as Lech won their ninth Ekstraklasa title at the end of the season.[12]

A rocky start to the 2025–26 campaign saw Gholizadeh sidelined for three months after picking up a thigh injury in mid-August.[13] After recovering, Gholizadeh returned to the starting line-up. In the following months, he scored six league goals and provided four assists, and was named Ekstraklasa's Player of the Month in April for his efforts.[14] On 2 May 2026, Gholizadeh tore his ACL during a 1–0 win over Motor Lublin, causing his season to end prematurely.[15] Despite the injury, he signed a new one-year contract with Lech on 13 May.[16]

International career

[edit]

Youth

[edit]

Gholizadeh was part of Iran U17 in 2012 AFC U-16 Championship and 2013 FIFA U-17 World Cup. He invited to Iran U20 by Ali Dousti Mehr to preparation for 2014 AFC U-19 Championship.[17][18]

Senior

[edit]
Gholizadeh with Iran in 2018

Gholizadeh debuted for the Iran national team on 17 March 2018 against Sierra Leone and scored two goals. In May 2018, he was named in Team Melli's preliminary squad for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.[19] In November 2022, he was named by Carlos Queiroz in Iran's final squad which would compete for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.[20]

Personal life

[edit]

Gholizadeh married fellow Iranian footballer Yasaman Farmani in February 2019.[21]

On 8 February 2026, in light of the 2025–2026 Iranian protests, wrote in response to the protests' high casualty rate: "Stop writing 'homeland' with a 'T'. Many bodies have died in its arms."[22]
