Lucas Buadés (born 28 December 1997) is a French professional footballer who plays as midfielder for Championnat National club Valenciennes.

Career

Buadés made his professional debut for Nîmes Olympique in a 1–0 Ligue 2 loss to LB Châteauroux on 21 August 2017.[1] On 3 July 2019, he signed a professional contract with Nîmes.[2] He extended his contract on 30 June 2020, keeping him at the club until 2022.[3]

On 2 June 2023, during the last game of the 2022/23 Ligue 2 season in a match between Bordeaux and Rodez, the two teams were locked in a promotion and relegation battle. If Bordeaux won the match, it would have a chance at promotion while if Rodez won the match it would be saved from a chance at relegation. Buadés scored the opening goal for Rodez and celebrated in front of Bordeaux fans, prompting a Bordeaux fan to invade the pitch and push Buadés and Wilitty Younoussa to the ground. Buadés was concussed as a result of the attack and sent to the hospital, and subsequently the match was abandoned by match referee Nicholas Rainville.[4] As a result of the attack, the LFP decided that Rodez would be given a 0–1 victory over Bordeaux, and that FC Annecy would be relegated in their place.[5]

On 7 August 2024, Buadés moved to Valenciennes in Championnat National.[6]
