Career[edit]
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.[2] Al-Khaibari signed a semi-professional contract with Al-Fayha in 2012.

On 1 February 2018, he renewed his contract with the club, tying him until 2021.[7] On 31 October 2020, Al-Khaibari renewed his contract with the club until 2023.[8] During the 2020–21 season, Al-Khaibari captained Al-Fayha to a second-placed finish in the MS League, thus earning promotion to the Pro League once again.[9] On 19 May 2022, Al-Khaibari captained Al-Fayha in the King Cup final against Al-Hilal. Al-Fayha won 3–1 on penalties to win their first major honor.[10] On 11 March 2023, Al-Khaibari renewed his contract with Al-Fayha.[11]
