Filip Olsson (born 24 April 1999) is a Swedish footballer who plays as a midfielder for IK Sirius in Allsvenskan.[2]

Career

[edit]

Olsson started his youth career in Kävlinge GIF [sv].[1] He joined Landskrona BoIS youth setup, but was not initially offered a senior contract. Having played two seasons for Eslöv in Division 3, the fifth tier of Swedish football, he got his first senior contract with Landskrona in 2019 when the team languished in Division 1. The team won promotion and Olsson made his Superettan debut in 2021.[3] Olsson scored a goal in the second leg of the promotion playoff against Dalkurd.[4] After the season he was named Player of the Year in Landskrona BoIS.[5]

Olsson made the move to the highest tier with IK Sirius ahead of the 2022 season.[6] Poised to make his debut in the cup against IF Sylvia, Olsson even scored a goal.[7] With the 2022 season well underway, Olsson sustained a serious knee injury in September and had to undergo surgery.[8][9]
