About Samuel Dahl

Dahl, 23, was born on March 4, 2003, in Västerås, Sweden. He is 1.71 meters tall and primarily plays as a left wing-back, but can also capable play as a left midfielder.

Dahl began his footballing journey in the youth academy of his hometown club, Västerås, before completing his first-team debut by coming on as a substitute in November 2019 at the age of just 16.

In February 2022, Dahl transferred to Örebro for a fee of 750,000 Swedish kronor.

In July of the following year, he moved to Djurgårdens for 3 million Swedish kronor.

During his time at Djurgårdens, his consistent and impressive performances drew the attention of several top clubs from Europe’s Big Five leagues.

In July 2024, Dahl joined AS Roma for a fee of 4.3 million euros, though he did not make any appearances for the club.

On the subsequent winter transfer window deadline day, Dahl joined Benfica on loan. That same summer, Benfica exercised the buyout clause to make the move permanent. 

Since joining the As Águias, Dal has so far made 93 appearances for the Portuguese Primeira Liga giants across all competitions, scoring 3 goals, providing 10 assists, and winning the Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira once.
