Club career
Sembrant began playing football with SK Servia, then progressed through the youth system of Bälinge IF. Although her role model while growing up was the striker Henrik Larsson, Sembrant became a defender.
Sembrant spent the 2006–07 off–season playing in England with Lincoln Ladies (then known as Lincoln City Ladies). She then moved to AIK in 2008. In November 2010 Sembrant switched to Kopparbergs/Göteborg FC, after becoming captain of AIK. One year later she moved to Tyresö FF.
In 2012 Sembrant was part of the Tyresö team who won the Damallsvenskan championship, but she missed the end of the season after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament injury. Tyresö suffered a financial collapse during the 2014 season, withdrawing from the league and letting all their players go. Sembrant secured a lucrative move to French club Montpellier.
In July 2019, Sembrant moved to Italy to sign with defending Serie A champions Juventus.
International career
Sembrant represented Sweden at all youth levels, then won her first senior cap against England in February 2008. She was withdrawn from the Sweden squad for Euro 2009 through injury.
In 2011 Sembrant was called up to Sweden's squad for the World Cup in Germany. She retained her place in the national selection for the 2012 London Olympics.
On the occasion of Sembrant's 50th cap, she scored Sweden's goal in a 1–1 draw with Canada. The friendly match was staged in Los Angeles in November 2014.
Sembrandt scored against Thailand at the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup, the opening goal in a 5–1 win.
On 13 June 2023, she was included in the 23-player squad for the FIFA Women's World Cup 2023.
