He played in the 2022 Dubai Olympic Friendly Cup in his first official match with the U-23 side, as well as two warm-up matches in Baghdad against Iran, before being officially selected by Miroslav Soukup for the Asian Cup, where they went unbeaten in the tournament in normal time but were eliminated on penalties in the quarterfinals to the hosts.[12]
On 25 August 2022, Siddik was called up for the first time to the first team to play in the 2022 Jordan International Friendly Tournament.[13]
