Sanel Ibrahimović (born 24 November 1987) is a Bosnian footballer who plays for Luxembourgish club F91 Dudelange as a forward.

He spent most of his career in the Luxembourg National Division, with over 200 appearances and 100 goals between four teams. During his time at Jeunesse Esch and F91 Dudelange, he won three each of the league title and Luxembourg Cup. He was the Luxembourgish Footballer of the Year in 2013–14 and the league's top scorer three times.

Career

Born in Tuzla, then in SFR Yugoslavia, Ibrahimović was in the youth system of FK Sloboda Tuzla from the age of 6, until at 16 his family moved to Luxembourg. He returned to the Balkans and became a futsal professional in Croatia before returning to Luxembourg in 2008, settling with his family in Wiltz, a northern city with a large Bosnian community.[2]

His first club was FC Wiltz 71 of the second-tier Luxembourg Division of Honour. As a non-European Union citizen, he required a work permit as a specialist to play for the team. The club president, former Luxembourg international Henri Roemer, hired him as a purported specialist in Bosnian cuisine for his hotel.[2] The team gained promotion, and he was top scorer in the 2010–11 Luxembourg National Division with 18 goals in 24 games.[1] However, the club were relegated and he missed a penalty in their play-off against US Hostert.[3]

Ibrahimović had been tracked by a scout from nearby French club FC Metz, but the game he attended saw Wiltz lose 15–0 to F91 Dudelange, and he joined FC RM Hamm Benfica in 2011 for a club record €35,000, and Jeunesse Esch a year later.[2] In 2013–14, he was again top scorer with 22 goals in 26 games, in addition to Luxembourgish Footballer of the Year.[4] With only one goal fewer the following season, he was top scorer for the third time.[5]

In June 2015, after his Jeunesse contract expired,[5] Ibrahimović moved to F91 Dudelange on a three-year deal.[6]
