Agim Ibraimi (Macedonian: Агим Ибраими) (born 29 August 1988) is a professional footballer of Albanian origin who plays as a midfielder for Astana in the Kazakhstan Premier League. He is also a member of the Macedonia national football team.
Ibraimi was born in Tetovo, SR Macedonia, SFR Yugoslavia, to Albanian parents. While growing up in Tetovo, Agim joined the Shkendija youth team and eventually broke through into the senior squad at the age of 17.
Agim debuted for Shkendija 79 in 2005 and was a crucial member of the team. He made forty nine appearances and scored three goals, helping Shkendija reach fifth place in the Prva Liga. Making a significant impact on the club at such a young age, Agim was picked up by Red Bull Salzburg and moved abroad.
At Red Bull Salzburg, Ibraimi developed further under their tutelage. For the two years with Salzburg, Ibraimi made three appearances for the senior team.
Ibraimi joined Olimpija who were at that time playing in the Slovenian Second League. His first season in the Slovenian capital was very successful, as Olimpija finished as league winners with Ibraimi scoring eleven goals.
The start of his second season in Ljubljana was not as smooth. After Miran Pavlin, the director of football who brought him to the club, departed for Koper, Ibraimi wanted to join him. But Olimpija's board had none of it, as the player still had a valid contract with the club. The start of his first season in Slovenian PrvaLiga was difficult, his form was not up to standard, but it did pick up eventually and Ibraimi regained his place in Olimpija's first eleven. He scored his first goal in the Slovenian PrvaLiga on 28 August against Koper.
