Coming through from the youth system, Nasseredine made his senior debut for Nejmeh during the 2002âÂÂ03 season. After eight seasons for the club, with whom he scored 52 league goals, in 2010 Nasseredine moved to cross-city rivals Ansar for one season. The following year, he moved to Jordanian side Al-Jazeera, before joining Bahrain SC in 2012. The same year, he returned to Lebanon, playing one season each for Ansar, Safa, Nabi Chit and Chabab Ghazieh. Nasseredine played his final season in 2016âÂÂ17 with Safa, ending his career with 76 league goals.
On 31 October 1997, Nasseredine signed for Nejmeh's youth sector.
When Nejmeh took part in the 2004 AFC Cup, Nasseredine scored a brace against Yemen's Al Sha'ab Ibb to win 3âÂÂ0 in their opening group stage fixture on 11 February 2004. On 6 April 2004, he netted once more in a 3âÂÂ1 win against Turkmenistan's Nisa Aà Âgabat, as Nejmeh went on to eventually top the group with 16 points. They met Syria's Al-Wahda in the quarter-final. Nasseredine scored in the 3âÂÂ2 second-leg victory on 21 September 2004; however, the Syrians advanced on the away goals rule.
The following year saw Nejmeh top their group again in the 2005 AFC Cup, where Nasseredine scored in the quarter-finals in a 3âÂÂ2 win against Singapore's Home United FC. On 28 September 2005, Nasseredine scored the third goal in a first-leg semi-final 3âÂÂ0 win against Hong Kong's Sun Hei. Two weeks later, on 12 October 2005 Nasseredine scored again in a 3âÂÂ2 second-leg victory which saw Nejmeh advance to the final, where they lost 4âÂÂ2 on aggregate against Jordan's Al-Faisaly Amman. During the 2005âÂÂ06 Lebanese Premier League season, Nasseredine finished as the league's leading goal scorer with 17 goals.
In the 2006 AFC Cup, Nasseredine scored a hat-trick in Nejmeh's opening game, a 6âÂÂ2 thrashing against Turkmenistan's HTTU Aà Âgabat on 7 March 2006. On 16 May 2006, he scored a 65th-minute winning goal in a 2âÂÂ1 result against Jordan's Al Faisaly, in the final group stage fixture. On 26 September 2006, in the first leg of the semi-finals, Nasseredine put Nejmeh ahead against Bahrain's Al-Muharraq after 21 minutes, only to end up losing the game 2âÂÂ1. Nejmeh lost 4âÂÂ2 in the second leg.
In the 2007 AFC Cup, on 20 March 2007, Nasseredine scored an 89th-minute winner in a 2âÂÂ1 victory against Al-Saqr of Yemen in the second group stage fixture.

On 9 June 2004, Nasseredine was substituted on to the field in the 81st minute in a 2006 World Cup qualifier against the Maldives; he scored the third and final goal of a 3âÂÂ0 victory in the 93rd minute. On 8 September 2004 Nasseredine scored a brace in Lebanon's 5âÂÂ2 second-leg win against the Maldives.
On 13 October 2004, Lebanon played South Korea in their second last game for their group stage clash; with Lebanon being only one point below their opponents South Korea in the table, the game was seen as Lebanon's finest chance of qualifying to the second round of qualifiers for their first time. In front of a sold-out crowd in the Beirut Municipal Stadium, South Korea scored in opening goal in the 8th minute. Nasseredine equalised in the 28th minute. As the game had ended 1âÂÂ1, the point was not enough to qualify.
On 22 February 2006, Nasseredine headed home an equaliser in the 70th minute in a qualifying match for the 2007 AFC Asian Cup against Kuwait at home.
