Club career

Early career

Born in Amman, Sabra is a youth product of Al-Wehdat. During his youth days, Sabra traveled to Dubai to trial with Shabab Al Ahli. However, that travel was conducted 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]

International career

Sabra is a youth international for Jordan, having first represented the Jordanian under-17 team. ^[7] He got his hands at silverware in 2022, as a result of winning the 2022 WAFF U-16 Championship. ^[8]

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. ^[9]

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. ^{[10] [11]}

On 24 August 2024, Ibrahim Sabra was called up to the preliminary roster of the Jordan national football team. ^{[13] [14] [15]} 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. ^[16]

Playing style

Sabra is known for his scoring prowess, in combination with his strong physique and rapid speed. ^[17] 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 for Al-Wehdat: Jihad Abdel Moneim. ^[18]

Personal life
