Daniyal Mohammad Reza Ali Nazari (born 2 September 1989) is a Pakistani former professional footballer who played as a forward. Born in Denmark, he played for the Pakistan national team. Ali had been praised for his dribbling abilities and commitment on the pitch.
Ali was born on 2 September 1989 in Copenhagen, Denmark. His family originate from the city of Quetta in Pakistan.
Mohammad's father Qurban Ali was also a footballer, and was previously persuaded to play for the Pakistan national team.
Ali started playing around 12–13 years old, in a local team near his home called Brønshøj for fun with his friends. After a match against B93 Copenhagen, he was called by them and joined the club. As 15 years old he signed his first contract with the team. He served as the team captain in the u17 and u19 level in the Danish youth league. Ali helped win the KBU cup final for U19, when B.93 won over Frem by 4–2 in Valby Idrætspark scoring two of the goals.
He made his debut for the B93 senior team at the age of 18 on 23 March 2008 away against Glostrup in a 1–0 victory. In his debut season, Ali played 27 games and scored five goals.
Mohammad Ali switched to F.C. Copenhagen reserves team in the spring of 2010 amidst the 2009–10 Danish 2nd Divisions. His move costed B.93 the promotion, as B.93 lost the first game in 2010 by 1–2 away in Peter Bangs Vej, with Ali scoring both goals for FCK, and Bashkim Kadrii scoring the lone goal for B.93.
With chances of breaking into the senior team bleak, Ali then linked up with Køge in the Danish 1st Division in 2011, where he helped them gain promotion to the Danish SuperLiga until he received an 8-month injury.
At the end of autumn 2011, Ali returned to B.93, where he managed to play two games before the winter break.
In the spring of 2012, Ali played for Hvidovre, where he scored one goal in 3 matches.
During the 2012 summer break, he signed for BK Avarta in the Danish 2nd division, where he eventually became the club's vice captain.
He moved to Svebølle Danish 2nd Division in January 2014. He also had a short stint at Hollbaek the same autumn.
In January 2016, Ali moved back to his former club B93 on a one-season deal. He was signed as replacement for the team's top scorer Olcay Senoglu, who had moved to Fremad Amager. At the end of the year, his contract was renewed for an additional season. Ali left the club by the end of 2017.
In 2018, he signed for Greve Fodbold, where he was joined by national team fellow goalkeeper Yousuf Butt. He moved to Ishoj in 2019, until signing for Tårnby FF in September 2021. He stayed in the club until February 2023. On 21 July 2024, Ali joined Glostrup FK.
He was called in the camps for Danish youth national team at U-17 nor U-19 level, but did not get selected.
He made his international debut in 2012 with Pakistan against Singapore, and scored his first goal for the team against Nepal at the 2018 SAFF Championship.

“It's a lack of faith that makes people afraid of meeting challenges, and I believe in myself.”
“I'd like for them to say he took a few cups of love, he took one tablespoon of patience, teaspoon of generosity, one pint of kindness. He took one quart of laughter, one pinch of concern, and then, he mix willingness with happiness, he added lots of faith, and he stired it up well, then he spreads it over his span of a lifetime, and he served it to each and every deserving person he met.”
“Float like a butterfly sting like a bee – his hands can’t hit what his eyes can't see.”
“Over the years my religion has changed and my spirituality has evolved. Religion and spirituality are very different, but people often confuse the two. Some things cannot be taught, but they can be awakened in the heart. Spirituality is recognizing the divine light that is within us all. It doesn't belong to any particular religion; it belongs to everyone.”
