Elias Jemal (born 3 March 2003) is a Swedish footballer who plays as a winger for Sandefjord in Eliteserien.

Career

Jemal played for a number of clubs in his youth, including Hammarby IF and Jarlabergs IF[1] before joining IF Brommapojkarna U16 in 2019. He spent the year 2020 in IFK Haninge before returning to Brommapojkarna, where he was promoted to the senior team in the course of 2022.[2]

However, Jemal never played a senior match for Brommapojkarna before being allowed to join third-tier club Vasalunds IF in 2023. Successful performances in the 2023 Ettan, including 10 goals, led to interest from IFK Göteborg, who had a transfer bid rejected in February 2024.[3] Instead of playing in a higher Swedish league, he was bought by Norwegian Eliteserien club Sandefjord in July 2024.[4] He first made his mark when scoring the 1–0 goal for Sandefjord against Kristiansund in August, 5 minutes into stoppage time. The victory helped Sandefjord, who struggled against relegation.[5] He also scored against Lillestrøm in November.[6]
