Owing to her contributions regarding changing the dynamics for female footballers, Ali has received recognition all around the world.

According to the twenty-three-year-old founder of CWSC, these 35 female footballers have been brought to Islamabad to develop and enhance their skills as a football player. During training, they will get a chance to learn various aspects as well as the different tips and tricks of the game under the supervision of professional coaches.
