Ali was a midfielder for the Bruneian representative team than played in the Malaysian leagues in the mid-90s. He served as backup to the likes of Said Abdullah, Rosli Liman and Rosaidi Kamis.
After earning his coaching badges, Ali became head coach of new B-League side QAF FC in 2003. His tenure lasted more than a decade until his team left the Brunei Super League in 2015, but not before lifting three straight titles from 2005-06 to 2009-10. He subsequently found work with Brunei's governing body of football, NFABD, as the coach of the national under-15s in 2015.[1]
For the current 2016 season, Ali coaches the Tabuan U17 team in the Brunei Premier League. They replaced the Tabuan U18s led by Kwon Oh-son which became Tabuan U21 in the Brunei Super League.
International career
As was practice for Brunei's football association to send a club side for international tournaments at the time, due to QAF winning the domestic title in 2006 and 2010 Ali was appointed head coach of the Brunei national football team for the two AFC Challenge Cup campaigns of 2006 and 2009.[2] (Brunei sent DPMM FC for games held in 2008 but the club declined in 2009 due to the hectic S.League schedule.[3]) He only managed one win in 6 matches for the Wasps.
