Peshraw Azizi, born 19 January 1988 in Sulaymaniyah, Kurdistan,[2] plays as a defender and is team captain for Dalkurd FF in Sweden, competing in the Allsvenskan.[3][4] In December 2016, Azizi's contract was extended to the end of the 2019 season.[5]

Azizi has acquired Swedish nationality, but in 2014 began returning to Kurdistan each year during the Swedish association football off-season.[6][7] During one such visit, he signed a three-month contract to play for Zeravani SC in the Kurdish League.[8][2] However, his main reasons for visiting Iraqi Kurdistan are humanitarian.[9] During the summer of 2015, he and a few friends gathered kr 200,000 (US$23711) in Sweden, and then traveled to Kurdistan to apply the funds to charitable projects, such as distributing basic necessities and planting food crops.[2] He is also involved with Dalkurd FF in social projects in their own city of Borlänge, Sweden.[2]
