International career
[edit]Chaïbi was born in France and holds both French and Algerian nationalities.[10] He was called up to a training camp for the Algeria U20s in October 2020.[11] In the March 2023 international break, the French Football Federation showed interest for him to represent their national team, but Chaïbi refused the call up and accepted Algeria's call up instead, as he committed to their national team.
