Azizi has acquired Swedish nationality, but in 2014 began returning to Kurdistan each year during the Swedish association football off-season.[5][6] During one such visit, he signed a three-month contract to play for Zeravani SC in the Kurdish League.[7][2] However, his main reasons for visiting Iraqi Kurdistan are humanitarian. 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]
