Ibrahim Al-Dawoud (Arabic: ابراهيم احمد عبد القادر الداوود; born 14 July 2000) is a professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Egyptian Premier League club Haras El Hodoud SC . Born in Iraq and raised in Sweden, he plays for the Palestine national team.

Al-Dawoud began his football career in 2015–2016 with BK Trix Karlsborg U19, where he made an immediate impact by finishing as the team’s top scorer with 26 goals. In the following season, 2016–2017, he continued his strong scoring form at Tidaholms G&IF U19, once again claiming the top scorer title with 21 goals.

During the 2017–2018 season, Al-Dawoud represented both the U19 and senior teams of Boo FF, delivering consistent performances that supported his progression within Swedish football. In 2018–2019, he joined AFC Eskilstuna after receiving an offer from the club and spent the season competing for their U19 and U21 sides within the Allsvenskan youth system.

For the 2019–2020 season, Al-Dawoud signed with Södertälje FK, though the campaign was affected by a shortened schedule due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2020–2021, he moved to Värmbols FC, where he transitioned into a wingback role. His performances during this period earned him his first call-up to the Palestine national team.

In 2021–2022, Al-Dawoud transferred to Germany, appearing in several matches for SV Dessau 05. Increased interest from clubs in higher divisions led to his signing with MSV Pampow for the 2022–2023 season in the Oberliga Nord. He delivered a standout season, finishing as the league’s top assist provider with 24 assists and recording a total of 37 score points.

During the 2023–2024 season, Al-Dawoud played for FC Eilenburg in the Regionalliga Nordost, contributing to the club’s successful effort to maintain its league status. For the 2024–2025 season, he joined Al Nahada Sabha in the Libyan Premier League, where he continues to perform and further develop his abilities.

In July 2023, Al-Dawoud received a call-up to play with the Palestine national under-23 team in the 2023 Arab Games in Constantine, Algeria.^[1]
