Simon Hjalmar Friedel Tibbling (born 7 September 1994) is a Swedish professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Sarpsborg 08 in the Eliteserien.

At age nine Tibbling was invited by Stockholm based club IF Brommapojkarna, known for its youth academy to come train with them and six months later he joined them permanently.

[7] Simon Tibbling made his senior debut in Djurgårdens IF coming on as a sub in the top Swedish division Allsvenskan against Kalmar FF in the 91st minute.

[10] On 28 November 2014, Tibbling was presented as a new FC Groningen player on 1 January 2015[11] before helping the Green-White Army win the KNVB Cup in the 2014–15 season against defending champions PEC Zwolle.

[15][16] He scored his first goal for the club in his Superliga debut, a 1–0 victory against rivals FC Copenhagen, after having come on as a substitute for Besar Halimi in the 88th minute.

The club had dropped off to fourth place and lost the cup final to Midtjylland, while head coach Zorniger had been dismissed halfway through the season.

[27] In the following season, Tibbling slowly saw his playing time diminished under new head coach Niels Frederiksen, as a foot injury suffered in August 2019 kept him out for three months.

[37] In the final group match against Portugal in the 2015 UEFA European Under-21 Championship, Tibbling scored an equalizer in 89th minute which put Sweden through to the semi-final.

[41] Tibbling credited his mother bribing him with Pokémon cards as the reason he kept his motivation to attend football training sessions when he was a child.
