Rami Kaib (; born 8 May 1997) is a Tunisian professional footballer who plays as a left-back for Allsvenskan club IF Elfsborg. Kaib was born in Sweden and has Tunisian heritage; he represented his native country internationally at under-19 level, before being called up to the Tunisia national team in 2022.
On 13 January 2021, Kaib joined Eredivisie side Heerenveen on a four-and-a-half-year deal.[2]
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.
In May 2022, the Tunisian Football Federation announced that Kaib had signed the documents in order to play for the Tunisia national team.[5]
