Aribi is considered one of the well-known names in Arab football, having previously represented several prominent clubs, including Al-Ahly and Al-Qadisiyah in the Saudi league, in addition to his remarkable experience with CR Belouizdad and his notable stint with Etoile du Sahel, where he shone in continental championships and left a clear mark in the CAF Champions League.

Karim Aribi is 31 years old and stands tall at 192 cm, giving him a clear advantage in aerial balls. He is the type of forward who excels at positioning himself inside the penalty area and possesses extensive experience in various Arab leagues.

With his joining Al-Student, he becomes the first Algerian player to represent an Iraqi club in the history of the league, marking a new step that reflects the Iraqi clubs' trend towards diversifying their options for foreign players and seeking individuals with mature football experience capable of making a difference.

The coaching staff of Al-Student is counting on Aribi to lead the attack alongside the current group of players, amid great ambitions from the club's management to present a distinguished season and compete strongly in all tournaments, especially after the recent quality signings.

This deal comes as part of a series of active movements by Al-Student Club in the summer transfer market, as it seeks to strengthen its squad with quality and experienced players to restore the club to its natural position in the competition for titles.
