In July 2023, Badibanga signed with Canadian Premier League club Forge FC.[22][23] He made his debut for the club on 4 August 2023, in a substitute appearance against Cavalry FC.[24] On 19 August, he scored his first goal for the club in a 1-1 draw against the HFX Wanderers.[25][26] On 28 October, he helped Forge win their fourth league title, scoring a goal in a 2–1 win over Cavalry FC in the final.[27] At the end of the season, he was named to the CPL Best XI.[28] On 10 July 2024, he scored a goal from midfield against Toronto FC in the 2024 Canadian Championship.[29][30] After the 2024 season, the club picked up his option for the 2025 season.[31][32]
