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]
