'''Khaled Badra''' ({{langx|ar|خَالِد بَدْرَة}}; born 8 April 1973) is a Tunisian former professional [[association football|footballer]] who played as a [[defender (association football)|defender]].

==Club career==
Badra was born in [[Kairouan]]. After beginnings with his hometown's squad, [[Jeunesse Sportive Kairouanaise]], he joined [[Espérance Sportive de Tunis|Espérance de Tunis]] in 1996. He made a name for himself in the country as a powerful and uncompromising centre-back,<ref>{{cite news |title=BBC SPORT &#124; WORLD CUP &#124; Squad &#124; Khaled Badra |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport3/worldcup2002/hi/team_pages/tunisia/squad/newsid_1950000/1950843.stm |access-date=8 March 2019 |work=BBC Sport |date=22 May 2002}}</ref> who could also score from set pieces. He earned a call up to the [[Tunisia national football team|Tunisia national team]] for the [[1996 Olympics]] in [[Atlanta]] at the age of 23<ref>{{cite web|publisher=Sports Reference|title=Khaled Badra Biography and Statistics|url=https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/athletes/ba/khaled-badra-1.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200418074912/https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/athletes/ba/khaled-badra-1.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=18 April 2020|access-date=8 July 2009}}</ref> and became a virtual ever-present after that. His good form for the national side was mirrored in Tunisian competitions, where he has led Espérance to continuous league triumphs.

His club football career has been varied – solid and loyal service interspersed by short spells abroad. He also played for [[Genoa C.F.C.]] in [[Seria B]], [[Al-Ahli (Jeddah)|Al-Ahli]] Jeddah in [[Saudi Premier League]], and [[Denizlispor]] in the Turkish league. He plans to see out his career at Espérance.

==International career==
Badra featured for the [[Tunisia national football team|Tunisia national team]] in both [[1998 World Cup]] and [[2002 World Cup]], as well as the three [[African Nations Cups]] in that time. His finest hour came in the [[2004 African Nations Cup]] when Tunisia hosted the games. He scored two penalties in the semi-final against [[Nigeria national football team|Nigeria]] (one in normal time and another in the shootout), but also picked up a yellow card meaning he was suspended for the final.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/africa/3476159.stm |title=Tunisia make African final |publisher=[[BBC]] |date=11 February 2004 |access-date=9 February 2014}}</ref> He decided to retire from international football in 2006.
