About the player
Oliver Pettersson came through FC Honka's youth ranks before making his senior debut at EPS in 2020. A knee injury picked up in May 2023 cut that season short and kept him out for the whole of 2024.
HJK and Pettersson parted ways by mutual agreement in July 2024, and he moved on a free transfer to IF Gnistan, where he found regular football again, making 33 league appearances and scoring three goals across the 2024 and 2025 seasons. He moved to Ilves at the start of 2026, again as a free agent, on a two-year deal with an option for a third.
At international level, Pettersson has represented Finland at under-19, under-20 and under-21 level, though he has yet to receive a call-up to the senior national team. With Ilves, he is now involved in UEFA Conference League qualifying, with matches against Stjarnan, FC Differdange 03 and Rijeka.
