Club Career

Zemzemi started his career with Tunisian side Club Africain. In January 2018, he transferred for Ligue 1 side Strasbourg for a fee of €200,000, signing a three and a half year contract, being described by the club as "one for the future". After playing with the B in Championnat National 3 for the second half of the 2017–18 season, he made his first team debut on 19 August 2018, in the Ligue 1 fixture against Saint-Etienne, coming on as a late substitute.

Zemzemi hit the media spotlight after his involvement in a challenge which left Neymar injured during a Coupe de France match between Strasbourg and Paris Saint-Germain in January 2019.

In January 2020, having failed to break through to the first team, Zemzemi was loaned back to his former club, Club Africain, until the end of the 2019–20 season. He returned to Strasbourg in July 2020, with the season still paused due to the COVID-19 pandemic, having played just three matches. In August 2020, Zemzemi joined Championnat National side Avranches on loan for the 2020–21 season.

On 5 August 2021, Zemzemi signed for Ligue 2 club Niort.
