Badana was captain of her local team Unionville Milliken Soccer Club, then joined Toronto Lady Lynx where she was named captain and helped the Under–20 team qualify for the 2010 Super Y-League finals.[2] In 2011 she agreed a scholarship to Drexel University.[3] Badana's first season in varsity soccer saw her named in the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) All–Rookie team and also the All–Conference Second Team.[4]
International career
While a pupil at Brother André Catholic High School in her native Markham, Badana attended the National Training Centre in Ontario. She came to the attention of Canada women's national soccer team selectors who drafted her into the national Under–17 squad.[5] Badana was then part of the Canadian selection at the 2010 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup.
In September 2011 Badana was called–up by the Republic of Ireland for their UEFA Women's Euro 2013 qualifying games against Wales and France.[6] On her senior international debut in February 2012, Badana played 90 minutes of Ireland's 1–0 Algarve Cup defeat by Hungary.[7]
