Description

Mats Kristoffer Olsson (born 30 June 1995) is a Swedish professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Danish club FC Midtjylland and the Sweden national team.

Olsson has represented Sweden at various youth levels and his style of play has been compared to former Swedish Arsenal players such as Freddie Ljungberg and Sebastian Larsson. In January 2015 he received his first call up to the senior Sweden squad for friendlies against Ivory Coast and Finland. However, in his first training session with the team he broke his leg. Olsson was, in May 2017, called up to the Sweden's squad for the 2017 UEFA European Under-21 Championship to be held in Poland.

On 20 November 2018, Olsson played his first competitive match for Sweden against Russia at Friends Arena in Stockholm, in the 2018–19 UEFA Nations League. Olsson started in the midfield and played almost the entire match. It ended as a 2–0 victory for the home side, which earned Sweden promotion to League A in the next edition of the tournament, as well as a play-off spot for UEFA Euro 2020.

In February 2024, Olsson collapsed in his home and was rushed to the Aarhus University Hospital and put on a ventilator. His club, Midtjylland, put out a statement, in which they stated that the illness was related to the brain. They also added that the condition was not related to self-harm or external factors. On 7 March, Midtjylland put out a statement saying that after numerous scans and examinations, doctors diagnosed that the collapse was caused by several small blood clots in both sides of the brain caused by an extremely rare inflammatory condition in the cerebral arteries. On 14 April, the club announced that Olsson had made significant progress, regaining motor control and his ability to speak, while continuing his rehabilitation at Hammel Neurocenter. On 26 May, he surprisingly came onto the pitch after Midtjylland's Superliga title win, and presented the trophy to the team.
