International career

Moteab played for the youth team in 2003 in Burkina Faso under the leadership of Hassan Shehata, scoring five goals and winning the championship with the team. Then he participated in the Youth World Cup in the Emirates and succeeded in scoring a historic goal against England, which FIFA chose as the best goal in the tournament.

He joined the first team after that, also under the leadership of Hassan Shehata, and was able to win three consecutive African Nations titles in 2006, 2008, and 2010.

He also won the gold medal in the Arab Games in Cairo 2007, where he was the top scorer with 5 goals. He has three other friendly tournaments: the Lausanne tournament, the Nelson Mandela tournament, and the LG tournament. The number of his participations with the first team reached 70 matches, scoring 28 goals, and he is the sixth top scorer in the history of the Egyptian national team.

Meteb's goal against the Algerian national team at Cairo International Stadium in the 2010 World Cup qualifiers is considered his most prominent goal after he scored a goal in the fatal time with a header that shook the entire Cairo Stadium.
