With HJALMAR EKDAL emblazoned across the chest, it’s a bold way to represent a rising hero in world football. Available in sleek Black, deep Navy, vibrant Red and sharp Grey, and offered in sizes S through 3XL, this is the hoodie for those who live and breathe the beautiful game.
Why Hjalmar Ekdal deserves the spotlight
Hjalmar Ekdal is a Swedish centre-back who currently plies his trade at Burnley, returning from a loan spell at FC Groningen. Having initially broken through at Swedish academies like IF Brommapojkarna, he went abroad early — combining his development in the U.S. college system before returning to Sweden’s domestic leagues. He spent time at IK Frej and had a loan stint at Assyriska, before moving to Hammarby and then a loan at IK Sirius.
In 2021, Ekdal made a notable move to Djurgården, where his performances caught attention and saw him named Allsvenskan’s Player of the Month in September 2021. In 2023, he earned a move to England, signing with Burnley.
In January 2025, Ekdal went on loan to FC Groningen in the Netherlands, where he featured regularly and sharpened his defensive craft. That loan has now concluded, and he is back to bolster Burnley’s defence.
On the international stage, Ekdal has been capped by Sweden. He made his senior debut in 2022 and has represented his country in Nations League play and qualifiers.
That trajectory — from Stockholm youth prospect to international defender in England — makes him a hero for many supporters, and this hoodie allows you to carry his name with pride.
