Debut with Raja CA

In 2018, Badaoui began to play with the reserves under Abdelilah Fahmi but did not establish himself as a starter.

Transfer to JS Soualem and promotion

In 2019, he joined Jeunesse Sportive Soualem which had just won the 2017-18 Amateur National Championship (D3) under the direction of Redouane El Haimer.[1] In his first season, he quickly became a starter and the team were very close to promotion but finished in fifth place.[2]

The club of Soualem finished second at the end of the 2020–21 Botola 2 one point behind Olympique de Khouribga, meaning they earned their first ever promotion to the first division.[3][4]

During the summer of 2021, he refuses to sign for RS Berkane despite an agreement reached between Fouzi Lekjaa and Bouchaib Bencheikh, president of JS Soualem.[5]

On 19 December 2021, after a long-term injury, he made his Botola debut against Youssoufia Berrechid and played 10 minutes (loss 1–2). He will start the next games.[6]

Return to Raja CA

On 31 January 2022, Abdessamad Badaoui returns to his former club Raja CA and signed a four and a half year contract.[7]

On 7 April, he played his first match against JS de Kasbah Tadla in the round of 16 of the Throne Cup (0-1 victory).[8]

On 8 October in Niamey, he played his first international match against ASN Nigelec in the second round of the 2022-23 Champions League (victory 0–2).
