Seferovic made his professional debut at [[Grasshopper Club Zürich|Grasshopper]] in April 2009. Shortly afterwards, in January 2010, he was signed by Italian club [[ACF Fiorentina|Fiorentina]].

A year later, he joined German club [[Eintracht Frankfurt]], with whom he spent three seasons before a transfer to [[S.L. Benfica|Benfica]] in Portugal. He made over 180 appearances and scored over 70 goals for the club, winning the [[Bola de Prata (Portugal)|Bola de Prata]] for top scorer as the team won the [[Primeira Liga]] in [[2018–19 Primeira Liga|2018–19]].

A full international since 2013, Seferovic represented Switzerland at the [[FIFA World Cup]] in [[2014 FIFA World Cup|2014]], [[2018 FIFA World Cup|2018]] and [[2022 FIFA World Cup|2022]], and the [[UEFA European Championship]] in [[UEFA Euro 2016|2016]] and [[UEFA Euro 2020|2020]], earning over 90 caps.
