International career

Maalouf played for Lebanon U15 at the 2019 WAFF U-15 Championship, winning the tournament as the top scorer with nine goals in two games. She also won the 2022 WAFF U-18 Girls Championship with Lebanon U18 as the tournament's best player.

Senior

On 24 August 2021, Maalouf made her senior international debut for Lebanon on 24 August 2021, as a starter in a 0–0 draw against Tunisia in the 2021 Arab Women's Cup. She scored her first goal on 30 August, in a 5–1 win against Sudan. Maalouf scored three goals in two friendly games against Syria, on 12 and 14 August 2022, including a brace in the second game. She took part in the 2022 WAFF Women's Championship; she helped her side finish runners-up, scoring twice against Palestine and Syria.

With her goal against Indonesia in a 5–0 win at the 2024 AFC Women's Olympic Qualifying Tournament, on 8 April 2023, Maalouf reached Sara Bakri's national-team record of seven goals for Lebanon. She surpassed the record on 18 July 2023 – aged 17 years, 210 days – scoring a goal in a 5–0 win against Palestine. The record was broken two months later, on 30 September, when Lili Iskandar scored her ninth international goal.
