Oscar Wendt

IFK Göteborg

After playing for IFK Skövde, he joined IFK Göteborg in 2003. He became an important first team player, earning 14 appearances on the Swedish U21 team and a call-up for the Sweden national team. In his time at the club he played 91 matches, before moving to the Danish champions Copenhagen on a four-year contract for 6 million DKK. After his departure to Copenhagen, a huge gap arose in the defence, later filled by Argentine defender José Shaffer coming from Racing Club.

Copenhagen

In his first two years at Copenhagen, he struggled to become a first team regular, first being a back-up for former Norwegian international André Bergdølmo and later Danish international Niclas Jensen. However, in 2008, he managed to become a first choice on the left back position for his team, earning him after 18 months a call-up to the Sweden national team. His strong performances also had him linked with both English club West Ham United and Italian club Genoa. With an injured Bergdølmo in Copenhagen's 2006–07 UEFA Champions League campaign, Wendt played regularly as a left back, and in the team's 3–1 win against Celtic, he alongside fellow Copenhagen defender Michael Gravgaard was chosen for the Eurosport "Team of the Round".

Borussia Mönchengladbach

Wendt joined Bundesliga club Borussia Mönchengladbach on a free transfer on 10 June 2011. On 17 August 2015, Wendt signed a three-year contract extension with the club, running until the end of the 2017–18…

Having represented Sweden at U17, U19, and U21 levels, Wendt made his Sweden senior team debut in January 2007 in a friendly game against Venezuela. Wendt was overlooked for a spot in Sweden's UEFA Euro 2016 squad despite a strong season in Bundesliga. Wendt retired from the national team in March 2017, having represented the national team a total of 28 times.
