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

Saipa

He 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

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

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

Lech Poznań

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.

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.[12][13]
