'''Oleksandr Oleksandrovych Aliyev''' ({{langx|uk|Олександр Олександрович Алієв}}, {{langx|ru|Александр Александрович Алиев}}; born 3 February 1985) is a Ukrainian former professional [[Association football|footballer]] who played as a [[midfielder]].

Debuting at professional level for [[FC Dynamo Kyiv|Dynamo Kyiv]] in 2002 at the age of 17 years and 6 months,<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20130718213150/http://www.dynamomania.com/dynamo/players/1423-aleksandr-aliev?contract=2491 Oleksandr Aliyev (Александр Алиев)]. Dynamomania. 2013</ref> Aliyev was known for his spectacular goals from [[direct free kick]]s. His former coach at Dynamo, [[Yuri Syomin]], described him as "...the best free kick taker in Europe".

During the [[2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine]], Aliyev joined the [[Ukrainian army]].<ref>[https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/apr/01/ukraine-football-manager-oleksandr-petrakov-war-world-cup-hatred-russia ‘We could play at Wembley’: Ukraine manager on war, the World Cup and his hatred of Russia], [[The Guardian]] (1 April 2022)</ref>

==Club career==
Born in [[Khabarovsk]], Russia, Aliyev began playing football as a child with FC Zaria Khabarovsk before entering the Dynamo Kyiv youth system.<ref>{{cite news|publisher=Tikhookeanskaya Gazeta|title=Алиев - хлопец с амбициями|url=https://toz.su/newspaper/arkhiv/2004_08_17_aliev_khlopets_s_ambitsiyami/|language=ru|date=17 August 2004|access-date=10 February 2020}}</ref>

===Dynamo Kyiv===
Aliyev began his career in Borysfen-2 [[Boryspil]] (a second team of [[FC Borysfen Boryspil]]) in [[Druha Liha A]]. It was a youth club that was participating on the professional level similar to [[FC Dynamo-3 Kyiv]] and Aliyev at that time was a [[Minor (law)|minor]] (underage). In 2002, he joined [[FC Dynamo Kyiv|Dynamo Kyiv]] where he was featured mostly in [[FC Dynamo-2 Kyiv]] in the [[Ukrainian First League]]. He was really successful in the Dynamo-2 so he was loaned of to [[Ukrainian Premier League]] side [[Metalurh Zaporizhzhia]]. With Zaporizhzhia, he managed to get to the [[Ukrainian Cup]] finals.

After his loan ended, Aliyev was promoted to the main team of Dynamo, where he began to shine especially under new Russian head coach [[Yuri Semin]] during the [[Ukrainian Premier League 2008–09|2008–09 season]]. In September 2008 Ukraine legend [[Serhii Rebrov]] hailed Aliyev's transformation into a "team player", when he thought "Aliyev was just about fun". He was key in Dynamo's campaign in the [[2008–09 UEFA Champions League]]. On 21 October 2008, he scored a free kick from at least 30 yards out to give Dynamo Kyiv the win against [[FC Porto]]. On 25 November, at the end of the game against [[Arsenal FC|Arsenal]], Aliyev pushed the referee, [[Alain Hamer]], and received a red card for his action. Later, during the interview he called Hamer a "[[kozel (disambiguation)|kozel]]" (the goat -eng.) which means similarly to "idiot" in this context.<ref>[http://football.ua/champions_league/news/53023/page24.html] Алиев: "Повторяю: судья – козел!" Aliyev: I repeat: referee – idiot! {{in lang|ru}}</ref> 
Dynamo Kyiv finished third in their Champions League group, moving down to the [[2008–09 UEFA Cup]] after the winter break. Aliyev was an instrumental player throughout the campaign here too. He played in most of the games, helping Dynamo get to the semi-finals, where they were eliminated by fellow Ukrainian rivals, and eventual UEFA Cup Champions [[Shakhtar Donetsk]]. Dynamo also won the [[2008–09 Ukrainian Premier League]] that season. Later in 2009–10 season he was a part of starting lineup for Ukrainian Super Cup match against Vorskla Poltava. After a few minutes in that game he got injured and missed few months of the starting season. On recovery Aliyev was not able to secure a starting position and asked for a transfer during the winter break.

===Lokomotiv Moscow===
As soon as the first half of [[2009–10 Ukrainian Premier League]] Aliyev began negotiations with [[Lokomotiv Moscow]] in the [[Russian Premier League]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ua-football.com/ukrainian/news/4b3b1deb.html|title=Алиев подпишет контракт с "Локо" после нового года (Aliyev will sign a new contract with "Lokomotiv" in the new year")|publisher=ua-football.com|access-date=30 December 2009|date=30 December 2009|language=ru}}</ref> These negotiations failed and Aliyev remained a Dynamo player<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ua-football.com/ukrainian/high/4b479532.html|title=Александр Алиев: "Остаюсь в "Динамо" (Aliyev: "I remain with Dynamo")|publisher=ua-football.com|access-date=10 January 2010|date=10 January 2010|language=ru}}</ref> until 1 February 2010, when Lokomotiv officially announced the signing of Aliyev to a three-year contract.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ua-football.com/ukrainian/high/4b66e3e9.html|title=Александр Алиев – игрок "Локомотива" (Oleksandr Aliyev – "Lokomotiv" player)|publisher=ua-football.com|access-date=1 February 2010|date=1 February 2010|language=ru}}</ref>

===Anzhi Makhachkala===
In January 2014 Aliyev moved from [[FC Dynamo Kyiv|Dynamo Kyiv]] to [[FC Anzhi Makhachkala|Anzhi Makhachkala]] on a 2.5-year contract.<ref>{{cite web|title=Alexander Aliev moves to Anji (VIDEO)|url=http://fc-anji.ru/news/en/fc_anji_news/alexander_aliev_moves_to_anji_video160114/|publisher=fc-anji.ru/news/en/|access-date=18 July 2014}}</ref> Aliyev left Anzhi at the end of the 2013–14 season by mutual consent. Shortly thereafter, he re-signed with Anzhi, before having his contract terminated by mutual consent once again in January 2015.<ref>{{cite web|script-title=ru:Анжи расторг контракт с Алиевым|url=http://www.sports.ru/football/1026511345.html|website=sports.ru|access-date=16 January 2015|language=ru|date=16 January 2015}}</ref>

===Rukh Vynnyky and amateurs===
In 2015 Aliyev returned to Ukraine playing for [[FC Rukh Vynnyky]] along with his former teammate [[Maksim Shatskikh]] at the [[2015 Ukrainian Football Amateur League]].

In 2016 and 2017 he was taking part at the Kyiv city championship for local amateur club.

===Taraz===
In June 2016, after eighteen-months without a professional club, Aliyev signed for [[FC Taraz]] of the [[Kazakhstan Premier League]] until the end of the [[2016 Kazakhstan Premier League|2016]] season.<ref>{{cite web|title=РЕСЕЙЛІК ҚОРҒАУШЫ АНТОН ГРИГОРЬЕВ ТАРАЗДЫҢ НАМЫСЫН ҚОРҒАЙДЫ|url=http://www.fctaraz.kz/ru/latest/resejlik-or-aushy-anton-grigorev-tarazdy-namysyn-or-ajdy|website=fctaraz.kz|publisher=FC Taraz|access-date=15 June 2016|language=kk|date=11 June 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160913023227/http://www.fctaraz.kz/ru/latest/resejlik-or-aushy-anton-grigorev-tarazdy-namysyn-or-ajdy|archive-date=13 September 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref> Aliyev left Taraz prior to the expiration of his contract on 6 October 2016.<ref>{{cite web|title=АЛЕКСАНДР АЛИЕВ "ТАРАЗ" КОМАНДАСЫНАН КЕТТІ|url=http://www.fctaraz.kz/ru/latest/aleksandr-aliev-taraz-komandasynan-ketti|website=fctaraz.kz|publisher=FC Taraz|access-date=6 October 2016|language=kk|date=6 October 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161010175528/http://fctaraz.kz/ru/latest/aleksandr-aliev-taraz-komandasynan-ketti|archive-date=10 October 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref>

==International career==
[[File:Oleksandr Aliyev2.JPG|right|thumb|175px|Aliyev playing for [[Ukraine national football team|Ukraine]] in 2009.]]
Aliyev played the under-20 [[2005 FIFA World Youth Championship]] in Netherlands. He was one of the top scorers of the tournament with five goals, one less than [[Lionel Messi]], the top scorer.
Aliyev also played in the [[Ukraine national under-21 football team]] in the [[2006 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship]], helping his side reach the final. His set piece goal from more than 40 yards that hit the cross-bar and went in against Turkey in the U-21 Championship has been regarded as one of the best goals in U-21 Football history. He is the current top goalscorer of the Ukrainian under-21 team with eight goals.

On 6 September 2008, Aliyev got his first senior cap for [[Ukraine national football team|Ukraine]]. He was substituted on for [[Maksym Kalynychenko]] starting from the second half.

==Coaching career==
In March 2018 Aliyev became a manager of Ukrainian amateur club FC Khmelnytskyi which earlier in 2017 started out at the [[2017–18 Ukrainian Football Amateur League]].<ref>[https://www.ua-football.com/ukrainian/amateur/1521273292-aleksandr-aliev-vozglavil-fk-hmelnickiy.html Oleksandr Aliyev was placed in charge of FC Khmelnytskyi (Александр Алиев возглавил ФК Хмельницкий)].
