In 2011, Ibrahim joined the now-defunct Nouvelles Visage FC,[3] in KLFA Division 1 League. Nouvelles Visage FC got promoted to the third tier of Malaysian football league, FAM Cup, but the management decided not to pursue the promotion due to lack of interest from the club owner. Ibrahim stayed until 2013, the same year Nouvelles Visage FC deformed as a football club.
