In 2010, Shiralipour made his debut for the Danish under-18 national team (he was born in this country, his mother comes from Thailand, and his father is from Iran), where he managed to play three matches, and he played there together with Jannik Vestergaard and Frederik Roennow, who for several years they regularly play in the adult Danish national team. There he also met the current star of FC Copenhagen – Rasmus Falk and Jonas Knudsen representing Malmoe FF.

In court, the 30-year-old Shiralipour explained that due to the injury to the cruciate ligament in his knee, he had to carefully consider what he wanted to do with his future – and the choice fell on medical school. According to him, he did not have good enough grades for this, and therefore had to spend a lot of time before he was accepted.

At the university, he studied with BMX cyclist Simone Tetsche Christensen. He was also a volunteer at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. He received his medical degree in 2021.
