Cheddira was born in Italy and is of Moroccan descent.[10] He was called up to play for the Morocco national team for two friendlies against Chile and Paraguay on 23 and 27 September 2022, respectively;[11] he made his debut against Chile as a second-half substitute in a 2–0 win.[12]

On 10 November 2022, Cheddira was named in Morocco's 26-man squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.[13][14] He made his competition debut as an 82nd-minute substitute in the round of 16 against Spain, a penalty shoot-out victory for Morocco following a 0–0 draw after extra time.[15] In the quarter-finals against Portugal, Cheddira came on in the 65th minute, and was sent off for two yellow cards in stoppage time.
