Kamran Aliev

Kamran Aliev's football education started at CSKA Moscow, where his family had moved when he was four or five years old — only for the club to release him because he did not hold Russian citizenship. He rebuilt his path through the Torpedo football school, later renamed FShM, where coach Alexei Stukalov spotted him and brought him into Khimki's youth setup. That move paid off with a first-team debut for Khimki in 2017, followed by a loan spell at the club's reserve side, Khimki-M.

His most visible achievement in Russian football came with Khimki in 2020, when the club won the FNL Cup; Aliev featured as a substitute in the semi-final against Ural-2. He has also represented Azerbaijan at Under-20 level, appearing twice and scoring once in 2018, and separately turned out for Russia's Under-20 side in the 2020 FNL Cup.

SKA-Khabarovsk has been a recurring club in his career rather than a single chapter. He first joined on loan in September 2021 before making the move permanent the following February by buying out his contract from Khimki. After a spell at Arsenal Tula and a return to Azerbaijan with Sumgayit, he came back to SKA-Khabarovsk on a free transfer in July 2024.
