Club career

In June 2025, Ben Saïd was included in Espérance de Tunis squad for the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup.^[3] In the match against Los Angeles FC, Ben Saïd produced a number of saves, including a last minute penalty save from Denis Bouanga, as the club won 1-0.^[4]

International career

At the end of 2021, when he had never played for the Tunisian team, Ben Saïd was selected to participate in the 2021 FIFA Arab Cup organized in Qatar.^[5] During this competition, he officiates as a substitute goalkeeper and does not play any matches. Tunisia lost in the final against Algeria.

He was later named into the Tunisian squad yet again for the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon, with initial expectation to be a substitute goalkeeper, he ended up being the main keeper of Tunisia throughout the group stage as Tunisia had a somewhat disappointing performance, only qualified as one of the best third-placed team with one lone win.
