Gottfrid Rapp (born 18 August 2005) is a Swedish footballer who plays as a winger for IF Elfsborg.

Career

He grew up in Svenljunga [1] and started playing for Svenljunga IK as a child. [2]

He was a squad member for the 2022 UEFA European Under-17 Championship. [3] In 2022, he scored 24 goals in 26 matches for Elfsborg U17. He was officially drafted into the first-team squad in April 2023, bypassing the U19 team. [4] He made his Allsvenskan debut in May 2023. [5] Borås Tidning speculated that Rapp might be "Elfsborg's most expensive sale ever". [6]

In 2024 he played under manager Jimmy Thelin, but less after Oscar Hiljemark took over as manager. Nonetheless, Rapp started against Tottenham Hotspur and Nice in the 2024–25 UEFA Europa League. [7] In late 2024 he made his debut for Sweden U21. [8] In the 2024-25 Svenska cupen, he notably scored after 50 seconds against IK Brage, helping his team to a 1–0 victory. [9] Shortly after, in May 2025, he extended his Elfsborg contract until 2029. [8] After being absent from Sweden U21 during the entire summer, he was called up again in November 2025. [10]
