Early career

A product of Pepsi Football Academy in Nigeria, Ibrahim Madaki started his professional football playing for clubs in Nigeria before moving to Malaysia.

In 1992, Ibrahim was called up by the Nigeria national U-13 squad, but he was unable to win a cap. However he earned a place in the Youth Sport Federation of Nigeria developmental squad.[1]

In 2003, he got his first professional contract playing for his local club, Cosmos United in Nigeria Nationwide League. Two seasons later, he moved to Court of Appeal FC[2] in the same league where he played for another two seasons, before his career stopped abruptly due to serious injury to his knee.

Ibrahim managed to recover from his injury and two years later, he won a 1-year contract offer from Niger Premier League side, Espoir FC.

Career in Malaysia

As a player

In 2011, Ibrahim joined the now-defunct Nouvelles Visage FC,[3] in KLFA Division 1 League. Nouvelles Visage FC got promoted to the third tier of Malaysian football league, FAM Cup, but the management decided not to pursue the promotion due to lack of interest from the club owner. Ibrahim stayed until 2013, the same year Nouvelles Visage FC deformed as a football club.

In 2014, Ibrahim got a 2-year contract from another KLFA Division 1 League outfit, NS Chempaka who was just relegated from FAM Cup in the previous year.

After his contract with NS Chempaka finished, Ibrahim then moved to another KLFA Division 1 League, KL City FC. He played there for a season before he retired to pursue a coaching career.
