The English Premier League is Ali’s favorite league, with La Liga a close second. However, his preferred football tournament is the FIFA World Cup, with fond childhood memories of the grand completion.
Football journalism is the career path chosen by Ali, having joined the LSTV team in March, 2014. With his zeal for writing, becoming a novelist is a dream Ali one day aspires to achieve.
