Askary Mohamed Chibi (Arabic: محمد الشيبي; born 21 January 1993) is a Moroccan professional footballer who plays as a right-back for Pyramids FC, and the Morocco national team.

Career

A youth product of Raja, Chibi began his senior career with them in 2011 signing a 5-year professional contract.[2] He shortly after went on successive loans to Kawkab Marrakech and CRA, before transferring to Ittihad Khemisset in 2014. In 2015, he moved to KAC Kénitra where he became the starter.[3] He had stints at Moghreb Tétouan and Khénifra, before moving to AS FAR in 2018.[4] He moved to Ittihad Tanger for 2 years in 2019, before returning to AS FAR.[5] After a relatively successful campaign with AS FAR, finishing third, Chibi signed with Egyptian Premier League club Pyramids FC.[6]

In a game between Pyramids FC and Al Ahly SC in June 2023, Mohamed Chibi got into a fight with Hussein El Shahat. Following the 3-0 win for Pyramids, El Shahat "said some harsh words regarding Chibi's religion" and then "slapped the face of Chibi and threatened to break his leg." The staff for both sides had to stop the conflict. El Shahat reportedly offered to apologize to Chibi and shook his hand.[7][8][9] El Shahat was then fined £20,000 and given a two-match suspension.[10][11][12] Former footballer Moataz Eno stated he believed that El Shahat did the right thing.[13]

International career

Chibi debuted with the Morocco national team in a 3–0 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification win over Sudan on 12 November 2021.[14][15]

On 28 December 2023, Chibi was amongst the 27 players selected by coach Walid Regragui to represent Morocco in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.[16][17][18]
