Tobias Badila (born 12 May 1993) is a footballer who currently plays for French Ligue 2 side AS Nancy as a left back.[1] Born in France, he represents Republic of the Congo at international level.
Badila is a youth exponent from AS Nancy. He made his Ligue 2 debut on 21 February 2014 in a 2–0 away defeat against Troyes AC playing the first 79 minutes of the game before being substituted for Romain Grange.[2] He can perform both centre-back or left-back, because of his great physique. At points in his career he was watched by teams such as AS Saint-Etienne, Monaco and Arsenal, although he preferred to stay to continue his progress.
Badila was pre-selected by Congo on 19 May 2017, and played 4 matches.[3] He made his senior debut for the Republic of the Congo in a 3–1 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualification loss to the DR Congo on 10 June 2017.[4]
