Striker Ibrahimovic, 34, who recently secured his fourth Ligue 1 title with Paris St Germain, scored 11 goals in 10 Euro 2016 qualifying games for the Swedes.
FA chairman Karl-Erik Nilsson told Reuters he was not worried about travelling to Turkey despite recent bombings in the country.
"We have received the kind of guarantees from the Turkish FA that make us feel safe," Nilsson said.
