He scored his first goal for Pohronie after a pass from Peter Mazan in a match against iClinic SereÃÂ. Badolo's goal was the winning one of the 2:1 game of Pohronie.
On 9 February 2022, Sheriff Tiraspol announced the signing of Badolo. On 4 January 2025, Sheriff announced that Badolo had left the club.
On 28 January 2025, Spartak Trnava announced the signing of Badolo on a contract until the end of the 2026/2027 season. He came to the club with his younger brother Akim Badolo. Badolo made his debut for Spartak on 23 February 2025, in a 1:1 draw at home against à ½eleziarne Podbrezová. He waited 2 months until his first contribution, assisting the winning goal for Miloà ¡ KratochvÃÂl in a 2:1 win over Podbrezová in the last game of the season.
Badolo played his first European game for Spartak in a 1:0 loss at home in the first round of qualification to the Europa League against BK Häcken. He came on as substitute in the 71â minute. He scored a goal from outside of the box, however the goal was disallowed due to an offside in the build up.
Badolo received his first national team nomination from Oscar Barro in March 2022, ahead of friendly fixtures against Kosovo and Belgium. He debuted on 24 March 2022 at Fadil Vokrri Stadium, coming on as a second-half substitute against Kosovo, with the score at 3-0 for the European team. Following his replacement of Bryan Dabo after 63 minutes of play, Badolo witnessed two further goals by Kosovo, through Milot Rashica and Toni Domgjoni within some ten minutes of his arrival, to seal the 5âÂÂ0 defeat. At home, the result was described as 'sinking' and was partly attributed to forced absences.
Days later, on 29 March 2022, Badolo similarly appeared as a second-half substitute at Constant Vanden Stock Stadium during a match against Belgium. As he replaced Cyrille Bayala less than an hour into the match, The Stallions were trailing 2âÂÂ0. While on pitch, Badolo witnessed Christian Benteke's goal, which sealed the score line of the match at 3âÂÂ0.
