Toronto FC II

On March 12, 2015, Babouli signed his first professional contract with Toronto FC II ahead of their inaugural season in the USL.[5]

He made his professional debut against the Charleston Battery on March 21, and scored his first goal for the club in the same match.[6] His performance in the match was rewarded with a USL team of the week appearance on March 24.[7]

Toronto FC

On March 5, 2016, Babouli signed with Toronto FC.[8] He made his MLS debut against Sporting Kansas City on March 20, as a substitute for Tsubasa Endoh. He returned to Toronto FC II on loan ahead of the 2016 USL season.

On April 21, 2017, the club announced that Babouli had been placed on waivers.[9]

Babouli made his debut for the Canadian program with the U23 side at the 2015 Pan American Games. He played his first match against Brazil's U23 side and scored a goal in a 4-1 defeat.[11] Babouli was named to the 2015 CONCACAF Men's Olympic Qualifying Championship team on September 18, 2015.[12]

Arrest and Release

In April 2018, Babouli was detained by the Syrian Military police upon obtaining the Syrian Identity Card, due to the fact that each Syrian male has to do the mandatory military service.[13] He was released days later after paying the fee required for the exemption of the military duties.[14]
