Bacha grew up in the Grange Blanche district of Lyon, France. She was introduced to football by her brother at the age of four.[1] She joined the Lyon academy at the age of eight.[2] She is of Algerian and Tunisian descent.[3]
She continued to progress through the youth ranks at Lyon. In 2013, her performances caught the attention of Sonia Bompastor, a former footballer who was also responsible for Lyon's training centre.[1] She signed a professional contract with Lyon during the 2017–18 season.[4] That same season, Lyon went on to win the Champions League, with Bacha starting in the final.[5] Lyon were to contest the 2019 Champions League final too; Bacha featured in the game as a substitute for Eugénie Le Sommer, coming on in the 82nd minute of the match.[6]
