Juan de Dios Ibarra

Juan de Dios Ibarra Corral (born 17 February 1979) is a Mexican former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper.

Ibarra began his career at CF Monterrey, where after spending several years in the youth squads, made his debut at the professional level on February 10, 2002, in a game against Celaya.

However, when Martínez returned, Ibarra was relegated to the bench and watched from the sidelines as Monterrey won the championship that very season, under Argentine coach Daniel Passarella.

After two more years of scattered play at CF Monterrey, he was transferred to América before the start of the Apertura 2005 season, where he was placed as second on the depth chart, behind Guillermo Ochoa.

Ibarra was part of the Mexico U-20 team that competed in the 1999 FIFA World Youth Championship held in Nigeria, as a back-up goalkeeper.
