Ibra Jagne is the founder of ISA FDC. Before establishing ISA in the summer of 2021, he previously played football professionally in Iceland and Norway. Prior to this, Ibra played in the U.S. university set up for the University of Bridgeport in Connecticut.
His love and passion for football stems from his roots playing football in the streets of Banjul, Gambia. Ultimately, leading to his early career in the first division in Gambia as a teenager with Hawks FC. This quickly allowed him to enroll at Creighton university, later earning him a football scholarship at the University of Bridgeport, Connecticut.
After a successful season with the University, Ibra’s talents were quickly recognized and landed him an opportunity to trial with Chelsea FC in England under the guidance of Mick Mcgiven and Steve Clark. Unfortunately, due to work permit restrictions, he was unable to be offered a contract.
Following his playing career, he moved to England and obtained his coaching badges and subsequently starting ISA FDC with his aim of developing young, aspiring footballers to reach their maximum potential.
