Ali Jasim Elaibi Al-Tameemi (Arabic: علي جاسم لعيبي التميمي; born 20 January 2004) is an Iraqi professional footballer who plays as a forward for Iraqi club Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya, on loan from Al-Kahrabaa, and the Iraq national team.

Club career

Al-Karkh

At 14 years old, Ali Jasim made his Iraqi Premier League debut for Al-Karkh against Al-Zawraa on 3 November 2018.[2] He scored his first goal for the club in the last round of the 2018–19 Iraqi Premier League against Amanat Baghdad on 24 July 2019.[3]

Al-Shorta

Ali Jasim joined the defending Iraqi Premier League champions Al-Shorta during the 2019–20 season under coach Abdul-Ghani Shahad, although the season was later abandoned due to the COVID-19 pandemic. He made his debut for Al-Shorta in the 2020–21 Iraq FA Cup, coming off the bench in a 5–0 win over Al-Khalis on 17 November 2020.[4] Under Serbian coach Aleksandar Ilić, Jasim made one start and eight substitute appearances in the 2020–21 Iraqi Premier League as Al-Shorta finished in fourth place, and also reached the semi-finals of the Iraq FA Cup.[4]

Al-Kahrabaa

On 28 December 2021, Jasim signed for Al-Kahrabaa.[5] Under coach Luay Salah, Jasim scored four league goals in the 2021–22 season and a further six in the 2022–23 season, where Al-Kahrabaa finished in fifth place, the joint-highest league finish in their history which saw them qualify for the AFC Cup.[6] Jasim also helped Al-Kahrabaa reach the Iraq FA Cup final in 2022, playing the first 60 minutes of the final which Al-Kahrabaa lost 2–1 to Jasim's former club Al-Karkh.[7]

After Jasim's impressive performances for the Iraq U-20 team, Jasim was close to signing for K.A.A. Gent in Belgium,[8] and also generated interest from Turkish clubs Trabzonspor and Antalyaspor according to journalist Fabrizio Romano.[9]

Antalyaspor

On 20 July 2023, Jasim officially signed a three-year contract with Süper Lig side Antalyaspor.[10] However, Jasim terminated his contract by mutual consent after only two days at the club for personal reasons, and returned to Al-Kahrabaa in Iraq.[11][12]

Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya

On 2 August 2023, Jasim signed for Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya on loan from Al-Kahrabaa.[13] He scored two goals on his debut in the 2023–24 AFC Champions League group stage in a 2–2 draw against Sepahan, and scored again in the next group match against AGMK in a 2–1 win.[14] This made him the youngest player in history to score three goals in one AFC Champions League season at 19 years old.[15]

International career

Youth

Jasim participated with the Iraq U-20 team at the 2023 AFC U-20 Asian Cup. Jasim scored the winning goal in the quarter-final against rivals Iran, which qualified Iraq for the 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup.[16] Jasim scored again in the semi-final against Japan, which Iraq won on penalties to reach the final, with Jasim also scoring a penalty in the shootout. Iraq were beaten 1–0 by hosts Uzbekistan in the final and thus took second place in the championship.[17]

Jasim participated in all three of Iraq's matches in the U-20 World Cup, where they lost 0–4 against Uruguay and 0–3 against Tunisia, and drew 0–0 with England, thus being eliminated at the group stage.[18][19]

Senior

Jasim made his debut for the Iraq national team on 13 October 2023 in the Jordan International Tournament against Qatar.[20]
