Abdurahim Laajab (born 21 May 1985), commonly known as Ibba Laajab, is a Norwegian footballer who plays for China League One club Hebei China Fortune as a winger. Ibba also plays futsal and is one of the key players in the Norwegian futsal team. Ibba was born in Morocco, but grew up in Norway and played eight season in the Norwegian First Division with Skeid, Notodden, Mjøndalen and Strømmen before he signed with Tippeligaen-side Vålerenga in 2012. After spending the second half of the 2012 season on loan with Stabæk, Ibba joined Bodø/Glimt ahead of the 2013 season. ==Football career== Ibba was born to Moroccan parents and moved to Norway when he was one month old. He played at Vålerenga and Moss during his youth,〔 and later joined Skeid because his friends were playing there. At Skeid he was teammate with Moa, Mos, Birger Madsen and Dawda Leigh.〔 Ibba didn't get too much playing time with Skeid, but during the second half of the 2004-season he played 248 minutes in nine matches in the First Division and scored two goals. Ahead of the 2005-season, Ibba and his teammate Moa joined Rosenborg BK on their pre-season tour to La Manga. Ibba was sent on a short loan-spell to Drøbak-Frogn in 2005,〔 and left Skeid after the season and signed a one-year contract with Sørumsand which had been relegated from the Third Division. Before he played a match for Sørumsand, Ibba moved to Borussia Mönchengladbach〔 where Jørn Andersen was the assistant coach. Ibba and Andersen communicated with each other in Norwegian. A year later Andersen was fired together with the head coach, and the new coach only talked to Ibba in German, a language Ibba did not try to learn, and eventually Ibba requested to terminate his contract and moved home to Norway.〔 He only played one match for Borussia Mönchengladbach II. In 2007 Ibba was back in Skeid, before he signed a contract with Notodden ahead of the 2008-season. Ibba played regularly in the first-team until head coach Jan Halvor Halvorsen was fired halfway through the 2009-season. The new coach, Arne Sandstø placed him on the bench and Ibba left the club after the season. Ahead of the 2010-season, Ibba was on a trial with the Spanish second-tier club Elche and was offered a contract there, but Ibba rejected the offer and decided to move to Mjøndalen instead.〔 Mjøndalen's coach Vegard Hansen stated that Ibba was a risky signing due to his poor reputation, but that the 24-year had a such an unredeemed potential that he couldn't ignore him. Ibba played for Strømmen in 2011, where he scored seven goals in 24 matches in Adeccoligaen, and ahead of the 2012-season he signed for Vålerenga.〔 After Ibba's transfer to Vålerenga, his former teammate from Skeid and former Vålerenga-player, Moa, said in an interview with Norwegian TV2 that the supporters of Vålerenga should be excited about their new signing and dubbed Ibba as one of the best newcomers of the 2012 Tippeligaen. Ibba made his first-team debut for Vålerenga in the friendly match against the Second Division-side Nesodden on 11 January 2012. After playing six matches for Vålerenga in Tippeligaen, Ibba was loaned out to Stabæk in August 2012 for the rest of the season. Ibba joined Bodø/Glimt ahead of the 2013 season, where he was reunited with his coach from Notodden, Jan Halvor Halvorsen. Ibba signed a three-year contract with Bodø/Glimt. On 25 February 2015, Ibba transferred to China League One side Hebei China Fortune.〔(河北华夏幸福签约挪威中锋 ) at sports.sohu.com 2015-02-25 Retrieved 2014-02-25〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ibba Laajab」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
