Ibrahim Tahini (born 25 July 1987) is a Sierra Leonean footballer who plays as a forward for Fengersfors IK.

Club career

Tahini came to Sweden as a 15-year-old and first played for Falkenbergs FF.[1] In 2009, while playing for Melleruds IF, he was scouted by Gefle IF.[2] He was Melleruds's top scorer in the 2009 season with 12 goals and trained with Gefle of the Allsvenskan, Superettan's Assyriska, Nybergsund of the Norwegian First Division and Swedish Division 1's Dalkurd.[3]

In 2010 Tahini signed for IK Oddevold from Melleruds IF.[1] In early May 2012, due to lack of playing time, Tahini and IK Oddevold agreed to terminate his contract.[4] Having trained with IFK Uddevalla, he moved to lower league team Svarteborg Dingle IF later that month.[5] On 4 July 2012, Tahini joined Vänersborgs IF on a loan deal.[6]

In November 2012 he was on a trial with Swedish Division 1 South side FC Trollhättan.[7]

Tahini joined Stenungsunds IF in January 2015.[8]

International career

Tahini was a member of the Sierra Leone U17 national team that lost in the final to Cameroon at the 2003 African U-17 Championship, thereby qualifying for 2003 FIFA U-17 World Championship in Finland.[1]

He made his senior international debut for Sierra Leone in a 2005 friendly against Liberia in Freetown.[9]
