Mohamed Ibrahim (Egyptian Arabic: محمد ابراهيم, born 3 March 1990) is an Egyptian former professional snooker player. He has twice won the African Snooker Championship.
As the winner of the 2018 ABSF African Snooker Championships he was awarded a place on the professional snooker tour for the 2018–19 season on a two-year card.[1][2] In October 2018 Ibrahim withdrew his tour card, having not entered a single match during the season.[3]
He previously competed at the highest level at the 2012 Six-red World Championship where he pushed eventual tournament winner Mark Davis to a deciding frame.[4][5]
He won the 2022 African Snooker Championship in Casablanca, Morocco in July 2022.[6][7] He secured his first win back on tour defeating Julien Leclercq in UK Championship qualifying in November 2022. He has also become the first Egyptian player to make a professional century, and won a second match to qualify for the Welsh Open.
He started the 2023-24 season at the 2023 Championship League held at the Morningside Arena in Leicester, England from 26 June 2023. In the round-Robin stage he went undefeated, drawing all three matches, including against Si Jiahui.[8][9] He earned his first win of the 2023-24 season on 17 August 2023, at the British Open qualifying in Leicester, with a 4-3 win over Mink Nutcharut.[10]
