Mohamed Ibrahim (Egyptian Arabic: محمد ابراهيم, born 3 March 1990) is an Egyptian former professional snooker player. He has twice won the African Snooker Championship.
Career
As the winner of the 2018 ABSF African Snooker Championships he was awarded a place on the professional snooker tour for the 2018–19 season on a two-year card.[1][2] In October 2018 Ibrahim withdrew his tour card, having not entered a single match during the season.[3]
He previously competed at the highest level at the 2012 Six-red World Championship where he pushed eventual tournament winner Mark Davis to a deciding frame.[4][5]
He won the 2022 African Snooker Championship in Casablanca, Morocco in July 2022.[6][7] He secured his first win back on tour defeating Julien Leclercq in UK Championship qualifying in November 2022. He has also become the first Egyptian player to make a professional century, and won a second match to qualify for the Welsh Open.
He started the 2023-24 season at the 2023 Championship League held at the Morningside Arena in Leicester, England from 26 June 2023. In the round-Robin stage he went undefeated, drawing all three matches, including against Si Jiahui.[8][9] He earned his first win of the 2023-24 season on 17 August 2023, at the British Open qualifying in Leicester, with a 4-3 win over Mink Nutcharut.[10]
