.

Club career

Amiri was born in

Eintracht Frankfurt II
for the 2010–11 season.

Amiri made his debut for Frankfurt in a 3–2 loss to Hessen Kassel on 1 September 2010.[1] In the midfielder's first season at the club, Frankfurt finished sixth in the Regionalliga Süd. Amiri featured in 24 of Frankfurt's 30 matches, scoring one goal.[2] He also contributed eight assists, doubling the number of goals he created at Viktoria Aschaffenburg.[citation needed] His first goal for Frankfurt came in a 4–0 home win over 1860 Munich on 7 December 2010.[3]

After being released by Eintracht Frankfurt, Amiri joined Regionalliga Süd club FC Bayern Alzenau in December 2011.[4] He was given the number 11 shirt by the club.[5] Later that month, Amiri helped Alzenau's under–23 side win the SV Heitzenröder-Silvestercup indoor football tournament. Amiri was the tournament's fourth–top scorer with 7 goals.[6] The midfielder made his league debut for the club on 3 March 2012, coming on as a substitute for Patrick Armhein in a 3–1 defeat to Stuttgarter Kickers.[7] He went on to make five more appearances for the side. Amiri's last league appearance for Alzenau came in a 1–0 win over his former club Eintracht Frankfurt II on 29 April 2012.

Amiri rejoined former club Viktoria Aschaffenburg on 1 July 2012, but had to wait until 25 July for his first league appearance of the 2012–13 season, coming on as a substitute for defender Fnan Tewelde in a 5–0 loss at SV Seligenporten.[8][9] However, less than two months after signing for Aschaffenburg, Amiri's contract was cancelled by mutual agreement on 31 August 2012.[10]

The midfielder signed for his former club, FC Bayern Alzenau, in September. Amiri had a successful spell at FC Bayern since rejoining the club, scoring five goals and assisting another eight goals in only 20 matches.

Amiri was first included in the

Korea DPR in the final group game.[11] Amiri had to wait two months for his second international cap, playing in the first half of the 2–0 loss to Palestine on 29 June 2011 in a 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifier.[12]
