FC Ibbené is a professional association football club based in Ibbené, Midrasia. The club currently competes in Liga Premiére, the highest tier of Midrasian football. The club has won a number of trophies including 9 domestic league titles, 5 Mydran Cups, 2 Super Cups, and one Asuran League title.

Founded in 1924, Ibbené was a relative latecomer to the scene of Midrasian football, though investment for key industrialists and philanthropists from the city and surrounding regions quickly propelled the team to the top-tier of Midrasian football. By the 1960s Ibbené were a mainstay of Liga 1, regularly finishing within the top half of the table. However, the club would not reach its peak until the late 1990s and early 2000s where they won multiple league titles and famously defeated Olympique de Lotrique in the Supercopa and Asuran League finals during the 1999-2000 season. Since then the club has undergone a decline of sorts, unable to financially compete with its other rivals. Yet the purchase of the club by Onzaian billionaire Monim Maalouf has seen a revival of sorts. Today FC Ibbené is still viewed as a top-6 team within Liga Premiére, though they continue to trail many of the other teams within this bracket.

The team's home stadium is Repain, which holds a capacity of 35,000 making it one of the smaller stadiums in the league. However, the club is currently planning the construction of a new stadium which will have a planned capacity in excess of 50,000. The club has a strong domestic following, particularly within the Avadin and Viure regions. The club also has a modest international following, primarily among Midrasia's immediate neighbours and Batisuria which recieved a high level of settlers from the city from the seventeenth to nineteenth centuries.

Ibbené has a numer of domestic rivalries, particularly with its immediate neighbouring clubs such as FC Oyonaix, FC Cadillac, and Club Viure. The team also has a historical rivalry with Olympique de Lotrique, owing to their clashes during the late twentieth, early twenty-first century.
