Ibrahim Saddam Juma (born 1 October 1993) is a Ugandan footballer who plays for Sài Gòn Xuân Thành as a midfielder. Known for his creativity, range of passing and finishing, he is also a free kick specialist. Juma has been capped by Uganda at international level.
During his youth, Juma played for Kampala Kids League. He was a key player in the team that won Tivoli Cup and Gothia Cup in 2003 – he scored 25 goals in 13 matches during the latter competition – and the Tivoli Cup again the following year. He helped the team win the Tivoli Cup again – their seventh title overall – in 2008 when they defeated Danish side Hillerod 6–0 in the final.
Juma began his senior career with Isthmian League club Cray Wanderers. After impressive performances for the reserve Juma was called to first team and eventually made his debut against Corinthian Casuals. Juma's most important contribution to Cray Wanderers was winning the free kick which was scored by Simon Osborn which resulted in Cray Wanderers winning the play offs and therefore getting promoted. Juma went on to play only 4 times for Cray Wanderers.
In 2009 Juma joined Ugandan Super League club Bunamwaya. He scored in a 3–0 win against Simba on 12 November, and was the focal point of the team in a match against Express on 5 February 2010 as Bunamwaya came from three goals down to claim a 3–3 draw. Edward Golola, the club's manager, said that Juma's imagination had breathed life into Bunamwaya and winning the league wasn't a far-fetched thought. "He plays with a lot of maturity," said team-mate Ayub Kisalita. "One thing he has added to the team is his ability to unlock defences with his sublime passes. Then he gets into scoring positions and takes his chances so expertly." The 2009–10 season finished with Bunamwaya winning their first league title. The following season was less successful for both Juma and the club. He scored vital goals in matches against Proline and Maroons, but he was hampered by injuries. The club were unable to retain the title, finishing third and 12 points behind the champions Uganda Revenue Authority.
