Zak Ibsen (born June 2, 1972) is an American retired soccer player.
Ibsen played college soccer at UCLA.[1] He was a member of the 1992 U.S. Olympic team[2] and the U.S. National Team.[1] He played in Germany[3] and in the National Professional Soccer League for the Baltimore Spirit as a midfielder before he was traded to the Tampa Bay Terror on January 17, 1996, in exchange for John Garvey.[4] He then joined Major League Soccer in 1996. Selected by New England in the 1996 MLS Supplemental Draft,[3] he also later played for Dallas, Chicago, Los Angeles and San Jose.[5] He won MLS titles with the Chicago Fire in 1998[6] and the San Jose Earthquakes in 2001.[7] During his MLS career Ibsen played in 140 games, scored 6 goals, and had 10 assists. His most notable assist came during MLS Cup 2001, in which he assisted Dwayne De Rosario's game-winning goal for the Earthquakes.
Long active in beach soccer,[8] Ibsen played for the United States national beach soccer team at the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup in 2006 and 2007.[9]
His professional soccer career ended due to a crystal meth addiction which left him homeless.[10]
