Benyahia was born in Stockholm, Sweden.

In 2004, Benyahia was chosen as the player of the tournament at the Nike Cup in Sweden and represented the country in a week-long high performance training session at Manchester United. In 2006, he was given a one-week trial by Chelsea FC. The following year, he also received a 10-day trial with Ajax Amsterdam.

On 14 July 2008, Benyahia signed a 3-year contract with Vejle BK after impressing on trial.[1] He returned to IF Brommapojkarna in 2009, and was released in 2011.

On 2 August 2012, after some time as a free agent, Benyahia was reunited with former Brommapojkarna coach Kim Bergstrand, signing a 2+12-year contract with IK Sirius.[2]

He retired from professional football after the 2014 season.[3]
