Moussa was a four-time medalist at the African Championships, and a gold medalist at the 2007 All-Africa Games in Algiers.[2] She also won two bronze medals in the same division at the 2007 Summer Universiade in Bangkok, Thailand, and at the 2011 Summer Universiade in Shenzhen, China.[3][4]

Moussa represented Algeria at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, where she competed for the women's extra-lightweight class (48 kg). She defeated Gabon's Sandrine Ilendou in the first preliminary round, before losing out her next match by a waza-ari (half-point) to Germany's Michaela Baschin.[5]

In October 2011, Moussa refused to compete against Israeli Shahar Levi in the knockout round of the Judo World Cup in Rome, Italy.[6][7]
