Ibrahim Obyala Touré (27 September 1985 – 19 June 2014) was an Ivorian professional footballer who played as a striker. He was the younger brother of former Manchester City midfielder Yaya Touré and former Arsenal and Manchester City defender Kolo Touré.

Touré began his senior career with Ukrainian side Metalurh Donetsk in 2003, before joining French team Nice, originally on loan, following a successful trial.[4] He also played for Al-Ittihad Aleppo, Makasa, Makasa, and Al-Safa. Touré died on 19 June 2014 in Manchester, England, after a short battle with cancer. The Ivory Coast FA confirmed in a statement that the 28-year-old died in Manchester.[5][1][2]
