Sami Al-Khaibari (Arabic: سامي الخيبري; born 18 September 1989) is a Saudi Arabian professional footballer who plays as a centre back, where he is the club captain.

Career

Al-Khaibari started his career at Al-Ettifaq and remained with the club until 2009. He left the club due to his employment in one of the military sectors. Al-Khaibari signed a semi-professional contract with Al-Fayha in 2012. During this period he also played for the Saudi Arabia national futsal team. During the 2013–14 season, Al-Khaibari helped Al-Fayha win the Second Division and earn promotion to the First Division. He signed his first professional contract with the club on 9 July 2015.

Following the departure of club captain Khalid Al-Dubaisi, Al-Khaibari was named as captain ahead of Al-Fayha's debut season in the Pro League. On 1 February 2018, he renewed his contract with the club, tying him until 2021.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Sami Al-Khaibari” as saudi Arabian soccer player. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA productive starting point for separating a subject’s documented career from later reputation and commemoration. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1989, 2009, 2012, 2013—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1989-09-18. The account is most persuasive where Sami, Al-Khaibari and Saudi can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the people & ideas register because the source frames it as saudi Arabian soccer player. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Dec 9, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q30309001. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1989, 2009, 2012 and 2013.

Critical limits

Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Read biographical claims against dates, named institutions and the cited references. Distinguish a subject’s later reputation from evidence produced during their lifetime.
