Mohammed Ali Al-Dibiski ({{langx|ar|محمد علي الدبسكي}}; 1941 – 24 April 2019, commonly known as Ali Al-Biski ({{langx|ar|علي البسكي|links=no}}), is a Libyan former footballer who played as a striker. Although he did not score in FIFA-approved competitions due to Libya's lack of participation at the time, he is the Libya national team's all-time top scorer.{{cite web |title=LIBYAN FOOTBALL LEGEND ALI AL-BISKI DIES AGED 78 |url=http://fr.cafonline.com/en-US/NewsCenter/News/NewsDetails?id=phlLc35sVZwaqKgfxBkauA%3D%3D |website=CAF Online}}{{cite web |title=Ali Al-Baski ... the story of a child who loved football and became "A Legend of the Knights" |url=http://rimessa.net/%D8%A3%D8%AE%D8%A8%D8%A7%D8%B1/%D8%B1%D9%8A%D9%85%D9%8A%D8%B3%D8%A7-%D9%84%D8%A7%D9%8A%D8%AA/%D8%B9%D9%84%D9%8A-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A8%D8%B3%D9%83%D9%8A-%D8%AD%D9%83%D8%A7%D9%8A%D8%A9-%D8%B7%D9%81%D9%84-%D8%A3%D8%AD%D8%A8-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%83%D8%B1%D8%A9-%D9%81%D8%B5%D8%A7%D8%B1-%D8%A3%D8%B3%D8%B7%D9%88%D8%B1%D8%A9-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%81%D8%B1%D8%B3%D8%A7%D9%86 |website=Rimessa.net |access-date=9 August 2020 |archive-date=30 April 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190430001404/http://rimessa.net/%D8%A3%D8%AE%D8%A8%D8%A7%D8%B1/%D8%B1%D9%8A%D9%85%D9%8A%D8%B3%D8%A7-%D9%84%D8%A7%D9%8A%D8%AA/%D8%B9%D9%84%D9%8A-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A8%D8%B3%D9%83%D9%8A-%D8%AD%D9%83%D8%A7%D9%8A%D8%A9-%D8%B7%D9%81%D9%84-%D8%A3%D8%AD%D8%A8-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%83%D8%B1%D8%A9-%D9%81%D8%B5%D8%A7%D8%B1-%D8%A3%D8%B3%D8%B7%D9%88%D8%B1%D8%A9-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%81%D8%B1%D8%B3%D8%A7%D9%86 |url-status=live }}
