Career
Early career
Ba Loua began his career in the club ASEC Mimosas in the Abidjan city of Côte d'Ivoire – a club that has previously developed players like Salomon Kalou and Yaya Touré and Kolo Touré. Ba Loua starred at the youth department as 11 years old and joined the first-team squad as 16-year-old. He got two seasons at the club's first team.
LOSC Lille
In the summer of 2015, Hervé Renard entrusted him to the French big club Lille on a lease agreement. Renard was at the forefront of the Côte d'Ivoire national team before he was coached in Lille in the summer of 2015. Unfortunately, Renard was fired after thirteen matches for the French club, and the new coach did not see the same potential in Ba Loua.
Vejle Boldklub
In the summer of 2016, Ba Loua changed to Vejle Boldklub. The offensive player was one of many new faces in the Jutland tradition club, which this summer was bought by Andrei Zolotko. Ba Loua was a solid man in his first half season in the club and played all matches in 1. Division. After the winter break, he lost his fixed place, but missed only three matches this season. He left the club after two seasons.
International career
Ba Loua is quoted for U-20 international championships for Côte d'Ivoire. He has also been represented in the U-23 national team at the Vejle Boldklub.
