Career

Odefalk started his youth career in IFK Stocksund [1] and joined IF Brommapojkarna at the age of ten. He left after two years, but came back in 2019 and made his senior debut against Tyresö in the 2021–22 Svenska Cupen. [2] He made his league debut in October 2021; though the team languished in the 2021 Ettan, they managed two straight promotions, first to the 2022 Superettan and from there to the 2023 Allsvenskan. [3]

By that time, Odefalk had attracted interest from the big three Stockholm clubs, as well as IFK Göteborg and possibly teams abroad. [4] [5] Odefalk eventually signed for Djurgårdens IF. [6] [7] Odefalk was presented as a new signing the day before Theo and Lucas Bergvall, all three being teenagers transferring between the same clubs. Djurgården scout Peter Kisfaludy described Odefalk as "slippery like an eel's skin" and "wise like a poodle". [8]

Odefalk made his Allsvenskan debut in May 2023, but only as a substitute playing one minute. He did not find his place in the Djurgården squad and Brommapojkarna bought him back in July 2023. [9] Here he became an Allsvenskan regular.

Odefalk was called up to Sweden U21 for the first time in June 2024, [10] having played on the youth national teams since Sweden U18. [11]
