About Ibrahumovic

Born in Sweden to a Croatian mother and a Bosnian father, Zlatan Ibrahimovic made a name for himself at the tender age of ten in a match for Balkan's 12-year-olds against Vellinge. With Balkan 4-0 down at half time, Zlatan came off the bench and scored eight goals to give his team an 8-5 victory.

- Ibra joins Inter after three years at Malmo, four at Ajax and two with Juventus. When unveiled to the media at Angelo Moratti Sports Centre, he declared: "As a boy, I always supported Inter."
- Zlatan scored a goal on his debut for Swedens U-21s against Macedonia, and represented his country at full international level for the first time on 31 January 2001 in a match against Faroe Islands. He scored his first goal for the national team after coming on as a substitute in a World Cup qualifying victory over Azerbaijan. Named in Sweden's 2002 World Cup squad at the age of 20, Ibrahimovic quickly became a regular fixture in the Scandinavian team. A player with a knack of producing the extraordinary, he scored a sublime backheeled flick to earn Sweden a 1-1 draw with Italy at Euro2004.
- Self-critical and instinctive, with great character and a slightly rebellious nature, Zlatan is an agile and acrobatic player despite his tall frame.
