Career

Nilsson began playing football at Villands Vånga IK and made his adult debut in 1990 at the then third division club Ifö / Bromölla IF . At the end of the season, the club was relegated to the fourth highest division, but he moved to the then second division Helsingborgs IF. In his first season still a supplementary player, he subsequently developed into a regular and rose to the Allsvenskan at the end of 1992 . At the same time, he went through various junior national teams at Svenska Fotbollförbundet .

In the top Swedish league, Nilsson played alongside players like Per-Ola Ljung , Urban Stoltz , Ulrik Jansson and Sven Andersson and was one of the guarantors that the club quickly established itself in the top third of the table after promotion. In 1994 the team reached the cup final, but missed winning the title against IFK Norrköping . In the 1995 season she moved into the European Cup as runner-up four points behind serial champions IFK Göteborg and made it to the round of 16 of the 1996/97 UEFA Cup . Under coach Åge Hareide , he won the national cup on penalties against Gothenburg club Örgryte IS in 1998 , and in the following season in 1999 he won the Von Rosens Cup for the Swedish title with the club 58 years after the last championship win . Under coach Nanne Bergstrand , he was on the pitch in all six games of the 2000/01 UEFA Champions League over the entire playing time. Although he was the only one in the Olympic Stadium in Munich against the eventual winners FC Bayern Munich thanks to a goalless draw without defeat, the club ultimately failed as bottom of the table in the group stage. In the following year he lost his regular place, even under Bergstrand's successors Sören Cratz and Peter Swärdh , however, he did not get beyond the role of a supplementary player.

In early 2003, Nilsson moved to the amateur field on a free transfer and joined the fourth division VMA IK . After one season, he ended his active career at the end of the season at the age of 30.
