Debuchy started his senior career at [[Lille OSC|Lille]], where he won a [[Ligue 1]] and [[Coupe de France]] double in the [[2010–11 Lille OSC season|2010–11 season]]. He played in Ligue 1 for 10 seasons for Lille. He joined [[Newcastle United F.C.|Newcastle United]] in January 2013 and stayed there for 18 months. Debuchy played for [[Arsenal F.C.|Arsenal]] from July 2014 to January 2018, including a loan spell to [[FC Girondins de Bordeaux|Bordeaux]] in 2016. From January 2018 to August 2021, he played for [[AS Saint-Étienne|Saint-Étienne]].

Debuchy made his debut for the [[France national football team|France national team]] in October 2011. He earned 27 caps, playing in the final tournaments of [[UEFA Euro 2012]] and the [[2014 FIFA World Cup]].

==Club career==
===Lille===
[[File:Lille v Sochaux Debuchy.jpg|thumb|upright|Debuchy (left) playing for [[Lille OSC|Lille]] in 2011]]

Debuchy was born in [[Fretin]], Nord.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.lequipe.fr/Football/FootballFicheJoueur20042.html |title=Mathieu Debuchy |newspaper=L'Équipe |location=Paris |access-date=29 March 2020 |language=fr}}</ref> He began his career playing for his hometown club Union Sportive Fretin before joining [[Lille OSC|Lille]] at the age of eight. After spending a decade in Lille's [[youth system]], he was promoted to the senior team following the winter break of the [[2003–04 Ligue 1|2003–04 season]]. Debuchy was given the number 33 shirt and simultaneously made his professional debut and first start on 31 January 2004 in a league match against [[FC Metz|Metz]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.lfp.fr/ligue1/feuilleMatch.asp?saison=2003/2004&code_evt=D1&code_jr_tr=J22&num_ordre=6 |title=Metz v.

Debuchy made five more appearances that season, which included two starts and three substitute appearances.{{citation needed|date=January 2019}}

The [[2004–05 Ligue 1|following season]], Debuchy switched to the number 2 and his playing time increased significantly. He appeared in 19 matches and scored three goals. His first professional goal came against [[FC Girondins de Bordeaux|Bordeaux]]. Debuchy scored the goal in the first minute of the match. Lille's solid form that season resulted in the club finishing second in the league and, as a result, qualifying for the [[UEFA Champions League]]. Debuchy was also instrumental in Lille's run to the Round of 16 in [[2004–05 UEFA Cup]] where the club was eliminated by rival French club [[AJ Auxerre|Auxerre]].<ref>{{cite web |publisher=UEFA |date=May 2004 |title=UEFA Europa League |url=https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/news/01a7-0e6cadd90656-b8368df4aa29-1000--akale-fires-auxerre-to-victory/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131005130545/http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/season%3D2004/matches/round%3D1978/match%3D80109/postmatch/report/index.html |archive-date=5 October 2013 |url-status=live}}</ref>

Debuchy became a fixture in the starting eleven during the [[2005–06 Ligue 1|2005–06 season]]. On 26 March 2006, he damaged knee ligaments in a league match against [[Racing Club de Strasbourg Alsace|Strasbourg]]. The injury required surgery ruling him out for six months.<ref>{{cite news |author=Graeme Bailey |url=http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11813_2372119,00.html |title=Blow for Lille starlet |publisher=Sky Sports}}</ref> As a result of the injury, Debuchy missed the [[2006 UEFA European Under-21 Championship]].

Debuchy signed a contract extension on 28 February 2011, tying him down to the club until 2015.<ref>AFP: Footballer Debuchy extends Lille contract. [[Google News]]. [[Agence France-Presse|AFP]].</ref> That season he was instrumental in the team's advancement to the final of the [[2011 Coupe de France Final|Coupe de France]] appearing in all five matches the team contested. In the final, Debuchy played the entire match as Lille defeated [[Paris Saint-Germain F.C.|Paris Saint-Germain]] 1–0 at the [[Stade de France]].
