Ibrahim grew up in Richfield, Minnesota, attended Richfield High School, and played for local club team called Wings United. In 2005 Ibrahim was part of the US National U-17 residency program, based at the IMG Soccer Academy in Bradenton, Florida, and later attended the Edison Academy.
[edit] Professional
Ibrahim was drafted in the second round of the 2007 MLS SuperDraft by FC Dallas; at the time he was the second-youngest player ever to be selected in an MLS SuperDraft, following 14-year old Freddy Adu in 2004.
Ibrahim never played a first team game in Dallas, and he was traded to Toronto FC in June 2008 in exchange for a conditional draft pick in the 2010 MLS SuperDraft. He made his MLS debut - and scored his first professional goal - on July 12, 2008 against Chicago Fire.[2]
It was announced on November 18, 2010 that Ibrahim would graduate from the MLS Generation Adidas program at the end of the 2010 season.[3] Ibrahim was waived on December 3.
