Club career
Anice Badri spent his childhood in Lyon, his hometown. At the age of 13, he joined the Olympique Lyonnais training center and played for three years in the youth teams of the club. In 2006, he suffered a herniated disc and must stop football for more than a year. He found the ground in 2008 at AS Saint-Priest, where he remained a year under the team under 19 years. He then moved to Monts d'Or Azergues Foot where he joined the first team in July 2010. He only played five matches in CFA2 until September of this year, when he joined Lille OSC, club reserve team. He played for two and a half years, playing 40 games for 9 goals.
On 31 January 2013, Badri was loaned to Royal Mouscron-Péruwelz, a Belgian Second Division team. He is regularly lined up and his loan extended for a season. He became a holder during the 2013–2014 and was an important part in the victory of the club in the final round for the accession to the Belgian First Division A, he scored a goal at each of the last three matches. He is transferred free of charge by Mouscron-Péruwelz on 3 July 2014 and scored a goal for his first match in Belgian First Division A against Anderlecht.[4] He was holder at each match during the first lap but then sees his second half of the season disturbed by minor injuries.
After his unsuccessful career in France and Belgium, he opted to return to his homeland Tunisia, where he joined the Tunisian giant Espérance Sportive de Tunis in a four years contract. Since then, from being unused and forgotten, he rose to prominence, helping the club to win two consecutive CAF Champions League titles for the first time, as well as making the club a formidable force in Tunisia.
