Maic Sema Siblings: Meet Ken Nlata Sema

Maic Sema Sema, born on 2nd December 1988 in Åsele, Sweden, is a Swedish professional footballer of Congolese descent. Primarily a midfielder or forward, Sema is renowned for his technical prowess, exceptional ball control, and adaptability across offensive roles. His parents emigrated from Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo, to Sweden in the late 1980s, and Maic was born and raised in the country.

Following a career spanning multiple nations and Swedish leagues, Sema has since returned to lower-division football. He is the older sibling of Ken Nlata Sema, also born on 30th September 1993 in Norrköping, another professional footballer who has played for Sweden's senior national team and clubs such as Östersunds FK, Watford, Udinese, and currently Pafos FC.

Raised in a family deeply rooted in football, Maic and Ken have a strong familial bond, with their parents, including Kiadila, publicly expressing their pride in both sons' achievements and their shared aspiration to play together professionally.

Sema's professional journey commenced in the youth divisions of IF Sylvia, where he made his senior debut in the 2007-2008 season. He transitioned to Hammarby IF in 2008, remaining at the club until 2011. During his tenure at Hammarby, he rose to prominence as a fan favorite, particularly during their successful 2011 Superettan campaign.

In January 2012, he transferred to Norwegian outfit FK Haugesund, where he stayed until the end of 2014. After a loan spell with Dutch club MVV Maastricht in 2013, Sema signed with Cypriot side AEL Limassol in 2015 before returning to Sweden with Örebro SK for the 2016-2017 season. He briefly joined Indian Super League team NorthEast United in early 2018, followed by a move to GIF Sundsvall later that year.

In August 2019, he joined IFK Norrköping, the club with which he grew up, and stayed until the end of the 2023 season. After a brief period without a club, Sema signed with Division 2 side IK Sleipner in March 2025, continuing to play into the 2025-2026 season. Over his extensive career, Sema has amassed hundreds of appearances and scored dozens of goals in Allsvenskan, Superettan, Eliteserien, and various other competitions.

His accolades include being named Player of the Year by Hammarby's fans in the 2011 season, with ten league goals to his name. Additionally, Sema made an appearance in the 2010 Svenska Cupen final with Hammarby, finishing as a runner-up. With AEL Limassol, he clinched the Cypriot Super Cup in the 2015-2016 season and finished as runner-up in the Cypriot Cup. He also secured a runner-up position in the Atlantic Cup.
