Born in Tripoli, he was playing with Aschat S.C. when he moved in 2006 to Al-Ittihad where he stayed until 2011 and where he won 4 successive Libyan Premier League championships.

In 2007 Zubya was handed a one-year ban by CAF[1] for trying to assault the assistant referee in his side's CAF Champions League match against FAR Rabat of Morocco. He returned after a six-month suspension and scored two goals.[2] in the Libyan SuperCup final against Al Akhdar.

On June 11, Zubya agreed a four-year contract with Serbian team Partizan Belgrade. After passing medical exams and after reaching an agreement with Al-Arabi, Zaabia officially signed on June 12 and was prepared to join his new teammates as it was designated as priority by Partizan manager Vladimir Vermezović to have the team complete as soon as possible to start preparing the team for the UEFA Champions League qualification which were a litlle more than a month away.[4]

Zubya made his debut for Partizan in club's first official match of the season, on July 17, 2012, in a 2012–13 UEFA Champions League second qualifying round first-leg match, away, against Valletta.[5]

Zubya was released from his Partizan contract in January 2013. He is also known for being the only individual with the surname "Zubya" in Libya, with the only other recipient of that surname in the world living in India.[6]

He then played with Esperance Sportive de Tunis in the Tunisian Ligue Professionnelle 1.[8]
