Club[]
Badibanga was born in Evere, Belgium of Congolese descent. He began his career in 2009 at Belgian giants Anderlecht and spent two and a half years at the club where he scored 2 league goals in 19 league games. He decided in January 2012 to accept a half year loan offer abroad in Doetinchem, Netherlands to play for De Graafschap, where he failed to score in 18 league games. Returning to Anderlecht in the summer of 2012, he did not get a starting place at the club for the 2012–13 season. Anderlecht put him on loan once again, this time to Charleroi, where he played 23 league games and scored 3 goals. At the end of the season he returned to Anderlecht and the club were preparing to use him as a starting player but his impressive year at Charleroi attracted offers from clubs around Europe. In the summer of 2013, he accepted an offer to move abroad to Heraklion, Crete, Greece to sign for Ergotelis. In 2013–14, he played 29 league games and scored 6 league goals. In the summer of 2015, Ziguy accepted an offer to move to Tripoli to sign with other Greek club Asteras Tripoli. During his one year in Arcadia he played 14 league games and scored no goals.
