During his second spell with 1. FC Kaiserslautern in the 1980s he won two caps with the West Germany national team under coach Franz Beckenbauer; Foda played against Argentina and Brazil in late 1987.
During his first ever international appearance, on 12 December 1987 in Brasilia against Brazil, Foda was at the centre of controversy.
Both at the reading of the team names and later when he was substituted in, he was met with great applause by the Brazilian fans.
Foda only found out the next day that this was due to his name translating to "free intercourse" in Portuguese.
His son Sandro (born 1989) first appeared professionally with Sturm Graz in 2007, when his father was head coach.
Foda joined FC Basel's first team during the winter break of their 1996–97 season under head coach Karl Engel.

During his few months with the club, Foda played a total of 15 games for Basel, without scoring a goal.
13 of these games were in the Nationalliga A, one was in the Swiss Cup and the other one was a friendly game.

However, he ended up being sacked on 12 April 2012 after the club was knocked–out of the Austrian Cup.
On 22 May 2012, Foda was announced as new head coach of 1. FC Kaiserslautern, who had just been relegated to the second division after two seasons in the top flight.
