She was named the player of the tournament in the 2022 Africa Women's Cup of Nations. She is the daughter of Larbi Chebbak, a player for the Morocco men's national team in the 1970s.

Club career

Chebbak began her career with the club Ain Sebaa. Then, she joined Rachad Bernoussi. She first played with Wydad AC[2] and then with Raja CA[3] and then to the Municipal Club of Al-Ayoun.[4][5]

In early 2011, Chebbak played with the Morocco women's national team in a friendly match against Egypt in Cairo. She scored a brace and Morocco won 2-1.[6] Her performance drew interest from the leaders of the Egyptian club Misr Lel Makkasa SC. She joined the club during the 2010/11 season where she competed in the Egyptian Premier League. Her experience was cut short due to political instability in Egypt after the January 25 revolution.[7]

After a little experience in Egypt, she returned to Morocco to play for Al Nassim (Sidi Moumen)[8] before joining AS FAR in 2012.[7]

Chebbak has won the Moroccan Women's Championship 10 times and the Moroccan Women Throne Cup 9 times with AS FAR. During the 2013-14 season, she was the top scorer in the league with 54 goals in 20 matches, a club record.[4] She has been the top scorer in the league five times: 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2023. She has also been named "Player of the Year in Morocco" five times.[7]

Chebbak participated in the first edition of the CAF Women's Champions League which took place in Egypt in November 2021. AS FAR finished third. Chebbak played in all matches. She did not score any goals, but provided three assists.[9]

AS FAR won the CAF Women's Champions League in 2022 with a 4-0 victory over titleholders Mamelodi Sundowns.[10] However, Chebbak did not play any matches due to injury.

On 14 November 2023, Chebbak was nominated for the 2023 African Player of the Year and 2023 Interclub Player of the Year by CAF.[11]

International career

Chebbak has played with the Morocco national team since 2007.[7] She played her first game on March 8, 2008 in a friendly against France in Casablanca. Morocco lost 6-0. It was the first match the French team had ever played in Africa.[12]

Chebbak is Morocco's most capped player and leading goalscorer. She served as Morocco's captain at the 2022 Women's Africa Cup of Nations, where they finished second, and the 2023 Women's World Cup.[13] She was the top scorer at 2022 Women's Africa Cup of Nations tournament and named both Player of the Tournament and to the Team of the Tournament.[14] She was also named to the IHFSS 2022 Team of the Year.[15]
