Born in Pontoise in the Val-d'Oise department of Île-de-France, Boudjemaa was raised in Beauvais, Oise. He began playing for AS Beauvais Oise, and had a year at RC Strasbourg Alsace when he was 15, before returning to Beauvais to play in the national under-17 division. After their relegation, he had one season at Olympique Saint-Quentin where he attracted the attention of EA Guingamp.[1]
Boudjemaa began playing for Guingamp's reserve team in the fifth-tier Championnat National 3.[2] After turning down an approach from Stade Brestois 29,[1] he was first called up by the first team for their Ligue 1 game at Stade Malherbe Caen on 20 October 2018, remaining unused in a goalless draw.[3] The following 19 February, he signed his first professional contract, for two-and-a-half years.[4] He made his professional debut with the club in a 1–0 Ligue 2 win over Orléans on 9 August 2019, as a 63rd-minute substitute for Bryan Pelé.[5]
On 9 January 2020, Boudjemaa was loaned to third-tier Championnat National team US Quevilly-Rouen Métropole, where he made five appearances before the season was curtailed by the COVID-19 pandemic.[6] He joined Stade Lavallois of the same league on the same basis on 5 June.[7]
Boudjemaa moved abroad for the first time on 8 July 2021, joining Hatayspor of the Turkish Süper Lig.[8] The following 4 April, he was sent off for two late yellow cards in a goalless draw at home to local rivals Adana Demirspor.[9]
On 6 January 2023, Boudjemaa survived the earthquake that killed Hatayspor player Christian Atsu and sporting director Taner Savut among tens of thousands of others.[10]
The club withdrew from the season and ten days later, he joined Hungarian Nemzeti Bajnokság I leaders Ferencvárosi TC on loan with the option to buy.[11] He won the 2022–23 Nemzeti Bajnokság I.[12][13]
Born in France, Boudjemaa holds French and Algerian nationalities. In 2017, he expressed interest in representing the Algeria national football team.[2]
