Ibrahim Mohammad Abdallah Sabra (Arabic: إِبْرَاهِيم مُحَمَّد عَبْد الله صَبْرَة; born 1 February 2006) is a Jordanian professional footballer who plays as a striker for HNL club Lokomotiva Zagreb, on loan from Süper Lig club Göztepe and the Jordan national team.

Early career

Born in Sahab, Sabra is a youth product of Jordan Knights and later Al-Wehdat. During his youth days at Al-Wehdat, Sabra traveled to Dubai to trial with Shabab Al Ahli. However, that travel was not conducted with his club's permission, who had an ongoing youth championship.[1] As a result, he got suspended by the club for a 6-month period.[2] However, Al-Wehdat decided to lift Sabra's suspension period on 24 October 2022, after his father submitted an official letter of apology to the club.[3]

Al-Wehdat

On 29 December 2022, Ibrahim Sabra was promoted to Al-Wehdat's senior team.[4] On 24 May 2023, Sabra signed a professional contract with Al-Wehdat, for an undisclosed period.[5]

Sabra established himself as the main striker for Al-Wehdat towards the end of the 2023-24 Jordanian Pro League, putting his signature after scoring his first official goals against Sahab.[6]

Göztepe

On 30 June 2025, Süper Lig club Göztepe signed a 4+1 year contract with Sabra.[7] On 19 September 2025, Sabra scored his first league goal for Göztepe against Big Three giants Beşiktaş. He did so after 39 seconds of his substitution with a bicycle kick and the ball going past goalkeeper Mert Günok.[8][9]

Lokomotiva Zagreb (loan)

On 16 February 2026, Sabra joined HNL club Lokomotiva Zagreb, on loan from Göztepe until the end of the season.[10][11][12] He made his debut and also received his first start for the club on 21 February in a 3-1 win against Osijek.[13] He scored his first goal on 7 March in a 1-1 draw against Varaždin. He then scored another league goal the following week against Hajduk Split in a 2-1 loss.

International career

Sabra is a youth international for Jordan, having first represented the Jordanian under-17 team.[14] He got his hands at silverware in 2022, as a result of winning the 2022 WAFF U-16 Championship.[15]

He also represented the under-20 in 2023, where he participated in a youth camp between October 8 and 17, in the Turkish city of Antalya.[16]

On 10 April 2024, Sabra was called up to the under-23 to participate in the 2024 AFC U-23 Asian Cup held in Qatar.[17][18]

Sabra established his prowess for the under-19, where he scored 5 goals in 4 appearances, during the 2024 WAFF U-19 Championship.[19]

On 24 August 2024, Ibrahim Sabra was called up to the preliminary roster of the Jordan national football team.[20][21][22] It was noted that Ibrahim Sabra had a distinguished performance against North Korea as a substitute during their second meeting, as he had created several opportunities during his time in the unofficial friendly match.[23]

On 3 September 2025, Sabra scored a hat-trick for the under-23 squad in a 11-0 win against Bhutan during the 2026 AFC U-23 Asian Cup qualification.

On 27 March 2026, Sabra scored his first senior national team goal against Costa Rica, a minute after appearing as a substitute at the 76' mark.[24]

Playing style

Sabra is known for his scoring prowess, in combination with his strong physique and rapid speed.[25] He can also shoot powerfully from a standing position, as well as find good positions to be in as a striker, drawing comparisons to a 90s legend from Al-Wehdat: Jihad Abdul-Munam.[26]

Personal life

Ibrahim is the younger brother of Al-Hussein and Jordan under-23 international footballer Khaldoon Sabra.[27]

Sabra is also known to be a multi-talented athlete. He had participated in a national athletics championship race in 2023, where he won first place in the 100 metre race, with a time of 11.44.[28][29] He also won the 200 meters that same race week.[30] He was met with the decision to pursue an athletics or footballing career, after the Jordanian athletics team called for his services, which he ended up pursuing football.[31]
