Kevin Robert Ackermann (born 24 May 2001) is a Swedish professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for IFK Göteborg.
Club career
[edit]Ackermann started playing football as a five-year-old in Azalea BK. Ackermann then went to IFK Göteborg, where he spent seven years.[1]
On 14 August 2017, 16-year old Ackermann made his debut with the senior team in Allsvenskan in a 2–0 home against GIF Sundsvall, coming on as a 92nd-minute substitute for Chisom Egbuchulam.[2]
In November 2018, Häcken accepted a bid for Ackermann from the Italian ACF Fiorentina.[3] However, during the medical examination it was discovered that Ackermann had a heart defect, which stopped the transfer.[4] He underwent an operation to fix the heart defect in Belgium on 30 April 2019.[5] In August 2019, Ackermann returned to Häcken and was able to start training with the team again.[6] He did not play any competition matches during the 2019 season, but in November 2019 he was selected for the first time in a year in the squad for a training match against Ljungskile SK.[7] After the 2019 season, Ackermann and Häcken agreed to terminate his contract early.[8]
On 3 January 2020, Ackermann was acquired by Örgryte IS, where he signed a three-year contract.[9]
International career
[edit]Ackermann made his full international debut for the Sweden national team on 12 January 2024 in a friendly game against Estonia which Sweden won 2–1.[10]
