Ibrahim Orit (born 28 July 1998) is a Ugandan footballer who has been playing for BUL FC as a winger in the recently concluded 2025/26 Startimes Uganda Premier league and the Uganda national football team.

Early life

[edit]

Orit was born in Soroti Hospital, Soroti, Uganda,[2] as the second born in a family of six, though both his parents died in Orit's early childhood.[3] He attended Aloet Primary School, but had to drop out of education following the passing of his parents as there was no money to pay his school fees.[2][3]

Club career

[edit]

Orit started his career at Odudwi FC in Uganda's fourth tier in 2013, and had spells at Soroti Garage, Junior Eagles and Future Stars before signing for Uganda Premier League side Mbarara City in summer 2017.[3][4] On 2 July 2020, it was announced that Orit had joined Ugandan champions Vipers SC on a three-year contract, becoming their second signing of that summer.[4]

In September 2023, Orit moved to Arua Hill SC on a free transfer, but later joined BUL FC on 19 January 2024 sighing a two contract which has recently expired in July 2026.

International career

[edit]

Orit made his debut for Uganda on 22 January 2021 in a 2–1 defeat to Togo in the 2020 African Nations Championship.[1] He scored his first goal for Uganda in their following match with a shot from 16 yards in a 5–2 defeat against Morocco on 26 January.[1][5]He has 14 caps on the Cranes and two goals.

Style of play

[edit]

Orit plays as a winger. Upon signing for the club, Vipers SC manager Fred Kajoba stated that he played as a "wide forward often cutting in from the left but has at times played on the right and off the main striker".[6]
