Career
    
Jemal was born in M'saken, Tunisia.
On 11 June 2009, Jemal was linked with a move to French club FC Nantes on a four-year contract. This move would have reunited him with his former coach Gernot Rohr, but the transfer was later cancelled. On 7 May 2010, he announced his resignation from Etoile du Sahel and signed with BSC Young Boys.[1] Jemal started the first leg of their Champions League Playoff against Tottenham Hotspur because of an injury to regular center back Emiliano Dudar.[2]
On 30 August 2011, Jemal went on loan to 1. FC Köln for one year followed by a call back and buy option.[3]
