Pontus Bror Harry Dahbo (born 11 October 2005) is a Swedish football midfielder who currently plays for BK Häcken.[2]
Career[edit]
He hails from Sävedalen[3] and played children's football in Sävedalens IF from age 6 to 15. Dahbo then joined BK Häcken's academy.[4] He made his youth international debut in October 2021.[5]
Following BK Häcken's victory in the 2022 Allsvenskan, the decision was made to draft Dahbo into the senior team already in November 2022.[3] He made his debut in the 2022-23 Svenska Cupen in February 2023, then his Allsvenskan debut on 3 April 2023 against Elfsborg – and his European debut during the 2023-24 UEFA Champions League qualifying and the 2023-24 UEFA Europa League group stage.[2] His first Allsvenskan goal came in the Gothenburg derby against IFK Göteborg, where Dahbo helped Häcken emerge victorious.[6] He made another breakthrough in the season's penultimate game, where he scored two goals against Malmö FF, thwarting MFF's chance to win Allsvenskan and also giving Häcken a shot at overtaking MFF and finishing runners-up.[7]
Personal life[edit]
He is a son of Patrik Dahbo. His father managed Jonsereds IF who met Häcken in the 2023-24 Svenska Cupen. Pontus Dahbo scored two goals to eliminate Jonsered.[8][9]
