Almoez Ali Zainalabedeen Mohamed Abdulla (Arabic: الْمُعِزّ عَلِيّ زَيْن الْعَابِدِين مُحَمَّد عَبْد الله; born 19 August 1996) is a professional footballer who plays as a striker for Qatar Stars League club Al-Duhail, whom he captains. Born in Sudan, he plays for the Qatar national team.
Ali is currently the nation's all-time top goalscorer. He was a member of the Qatar squads which won back-to-back AFC Asian Cup titles in 2019 and 2023; at the 2019 Asian Cup, he scored a single-edition record nine goals, and was named the tournament's best player. He is also the only footballer to score in three different intercontinental championships — those being the AFC Asian Cup, the Copa América and the CONCACAF Gold Cup.
