Club career

In November 2019, while a member of La Passe FC of the Seychelles First Division, Aboudou traveled to Germany for a two-week training stint with VfL Lohbrügge of the Landesliga Hamburg-Hansa. He was joined on the trip by his twin brother, Assad, and Achille Esther.[1]

In September 2021 it was announced that Affandi and Assad had traveled to Portugal for a three-month trial with C.D. Trofense of the Liga Portugal 2. During this time the players were evaluated by the club and others from within and outside of the country.[2] He returned to Portugal for a second stint in January 2022 and went on to appear in U19 league matches with the club.[3][4]

Later in 2022 Aboudou returned to La Passé FC and participated in the 2022–23 CAF Champions League with the club.[5][6]

In April 2018 Aboudou was part of the Seychelles football team that competed at the Indian Ocean Youth and Sports Commission Games in Djibouti.[7] In July of that year, he was part of the Seychelles squad that competed in the 2018 COSAFA Under-17 Championship. He scored one goal in the tournament, coming in a 3–8 opening-match defeat to Namibia.[8][9]

He made his senior international debut on 1 September 2021 in a friendly against Comoros. He earned his second cap three days later against Burundi.[10][11] On 27 September 2023, Aboudou scored against Madagascar in 2023 U-23 Africa Cup of Nations qualification.[12]
