Olle Samuelsson (born 16 May 2004) is a Swedish footballer who plays as a centre-back for BK Häcken.
Personal life
[edit]He is a son of Svante Samuelsson.[1]
Career
[edit]Samuelsson played youth football in Kalmar FF.[2] He was called up to Sweden U19 for a three-nation tournament in October, but remained on the bench against the Netherlands U17.[3]
Not being offered a Kalmar contract as he became a senior player,[2] he went on trial with Örebro SK[4] and Örgryte IS, but was not given a contract on the second tier and had to move down to the third. After one season in Oskarshamns AIK, he was brought to the second tier by Sandvikens IF.[2]
After only half a season in Superettan, he was signed by BK Häcken in 2025, strengthening their squad ahead of the 2025–26 UEFA Europa League qualifying.[5] In the second qualifying round, Häcken eliminated RSC Anderlecht, with Samuelsson "neutralizing" Kasper Dolberg, which reportedly led to the Belgian club inquiring about Samuelsson's availability.[6][7]
His Allsvenskan debut came in July.[8] In 2025 and 2026 he was also called up to Sweden U21[9] and capped three times.[3] Samuelsson was however less used by BK Häcken in 2026.[10]
