Ken Sema Siblings: Get to Know Lyra and Amanda and Maic Sema

Ken Nlata Sema, a professional footballer from Sweden, was born on 30th September 1993 in Norrköping, Sweden. He is currently playing for Pafos, a Cypriot First Division club, and the Sweden national team. Sema's family hails from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, with the entire family immigrating to Sweden in the late 1980s. He is the youngest among four siblings, with two older sisters, Lyra and Amanda, and one older brother, Maic Sema, who is also a professional footballer.

Sema's football career started at IF Sylvia before he moved to IFK Norrköping, where he made his debut in the first team in 2013. However, his time at Norrköping was short-lived, as he was loaned out to IF Sylvia for a season, during which he didn't make any senior appearances. In 2016, Sema joined Ljungskile SK for two seasons, where he gained regular playing time and scored goals.

His career took off again in 2016 when he signed with Östersunds FK in the Allsvenskan, leading to a breakthrough period that included European football. His move to Watford in 2018 marked another major milestone as he became a consistent performer and contributed to the team's promotion efforts. His stint at Watford ended in 2025 when he moved to Pafos.

In addition to his football career, Sema has been an inspiration for those facing speech impediments due to his openness about his own stammer. He has represented Sweden in various international tournaments, including the 2016 Olympics, and has made several appearances for the national team. His perseverance and character have been recognized both at Östersunds FK, where he won the Svenska Cupen in 2016-17, and at Pafos, where he helped the club secure their first-ever Cypriot First Division title in the 2024-25 season.
