He has donated to earthquake relief efforts, children’s hospitals, and education programs for underprivileged youth. When the devastating Bam earthquake struck in 2003, Daei was among the first celebrities to help organize aid and raise funds for victims. He has also supported campaigns promoting education for girls and young athletes, emphasizing that sports should empower, not divide.
His humanitarian work has earned him national and international respect — reinforcing the idea that Ali Daei is not just a footballer, but a humanitarian leader. Ali Daei’s influence reaches far beyond sports. In his name has become a symbol of honor, resilience, and national pride. He is admired not only for his achievements but also for his humility and moral courage. During the 2022–23 protests following the death of Mahsa Amini, Daei publicly expressed solidarity with the people. Despite facing political pressure and restrictions, including a temporary travel ban and business closure, he refused to remain silent.
