Club career

Troyes

Born in Le Blanc-Mesnil, Seine-Saint-Denis, Nsakala began his football career at AS Bondy. He spent four years in the club's youth system before departing the Parisian suburbs and joining Troyes AC in Aube. After excelling in the club's academy and earning youth international caps, Nsakala was called up to the senior team by manager Ludovic Batelli. He made his professional debut on 9 September 2008 in the team's Coupe de la Ligue match against Angers. Nsakala appeared as a substitute in the match with Troyes recording a 2–1 victory. Three days later, he made his league debut in the team's 2–1 defeat to Clermont again appearing as a substitute. On 19 September 2008, Nsakala made his first professional start playing 62 minutes in a 1–0 loss to Lens. He remained a fixture in the first-team for the remainder of the season often in a substitute's role. On 7 March 2009, Nsakala signed his first professional contract agreeing to a three-year deal until June 2012.

For the 2009–10 season, Troyes were relegated to the Championnat National and, despite playing against mostly semi-professional competition, Nsakala only featured in six league matches. The club immediately returned to the second division and Nsakala featured in the team's opening league match of the season against Vannes. He played the entire match in a 1–0 defeat.

Anderlecht

On 29 August 2013, Nsakala joined Belgian Pro League side Anderlecht for an undisclosed fee and signed a three-year contract.

Alanyaspor

In July 2017 Nsakala joined Süper Lig club Alanyaspor on a permanent transfer after spending the previous season on loan at the club.

Beşiktaş

In August 2020, Nsakala joined Beşiktaş in Süper Lig.

Neuchâtel Xamax

Nsakala joined Neuchâtel Xamax on 19 July 2023.

International career

After some appearances with the French under-17 team, he is selected by Erick Mombaerts as a team of France hopes on 25 August 2011, for an elimination match at Euro 2013 scheduled for 2 September against Latvia. Fabrice will not take part in this match but will know his first selection in hopes on 6 September 2011 in a friendly match against Portugal (entry into play in the 71st minute).

Born in France, Nsakala opted for Congolese national team in the mid-2010s.
