Born in Sweden, Kaib is of Tunisian descent from his father,[3] and Lebanese from his mother.[4] He has represented Sweden at under-19 level and, despite being eligible to also represent Tunisia and Lebanon, has stated that he has "ambitions to play for the Sweden national team", and that he had no intention of representing Lebanon.
