Johannes Selvén
Swedish association football player

Johannes Daniel Erik Selvén (born 26 July 2003) is a Swedish footballer who plays as a right winger for Vestri.
Club career
Galtabäcks and IFK Göteborg
Already at a very early age, as a 14-15 year old, Selvén played senior football for his childhood club, Galtabäcks, which played in the Swedish Division 5 and later also in Division 6.
In the summer of 2018, 15-year-old Selvén trained with IFK Göteborg. However, he only officially moved to Gothenburg a year later, in the summer of 2019. On January 9, 2023, Selvén signed his first professional contract, which also meant he was permanently promoted to the first team squad. He put his signature until the end of the year.
On February 20, 2023, Selvén made his official debut in a cup match against Utsiktens BK. He also played the subsequent cup match against GAIS six days later.
On March 28, 2023, Selvén joined Örgryte IS on a loan deal in search of more playing time. After four games for the club, Selvén returned to Gothenburg in mid-May 2023.
On June 10, 2023, Gothenburg confirmed that Selvén's contract had been terminated by mutual agreement.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Johannes Selvén” as swedish association football player. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the people & ideas register because the source frames it as swedish association football player. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Biographical claims are most persuasive when dates, appointments and relationships can be traced to records created close to the events described. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 13, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q122434217. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2003, 2018, 2019 and 2023.
Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
