About the player
Johan Karlsson started out at Sunnersta AIF before joining IK Sirius, where he came through the U19 side and made his senior debut in 2020. He went on to make 54 league appearances for the club, a run that earned him a move to Kalmar FF in August 2022, where he added a further 56 league outings as a defender.
Malmö FF signed him in December 2024, bringing him in to wear the number 2 shirt. His time at Malmö turned out to be short: in August 2026 he moved on again, joining Danish club Vejle BK on a three-year contract, with Malmö explaining the transfer as a way for Karlsson to secure more regular playing time.
At international level, Karlsson was capped four times for Sweden's U19 side before making his senior debut for Sweden on 12 January 2024, starting in a 2–1 friendly win over Estonia.
