Darijan Bojanić

Östers IF

In 2010, after debuting in the senior team at local club Gislaveds IS at age 16, Bojanić moved to Östers IF in Superettan, Sweden's second tier. Around that time, he also attracted interest from several European clubs, reportedly Fulham and Heerenveen. In 2012, Bojanić made 12 appearances as Öster won Superettan and got promoted to the first division. In 2013, Bojanić made his debut in Allsvenskan, aged 18. Midway through the season, after making 14 appearances for Öster, he transferred to IFK Göteborg.

IFK Göteborg

On 2 August 2013, Bojanić signed a four-and-a-half-year contract with IFK Göteborg, but failed to make an impact at the club. He reportedly had disciplinary issues during his stay at IFK Göteborg and Bojanić later admitted that he once fell asleep during a team meeting. In total, Bojanić would only make 10 league appearances for the side.

Helsingborgs IF

On 15 July 2014, Bojanić moved to Helsingborgs IF. He reunited with his former coach from Öster, Roar Hansen, and soon established himself as a starting player at the club. Bojanić fell out of favour with manager Henrik Larsson in 2016 after the player had criticised his coach in the media. Helsingborg got relegated to Superettan the same year. In 2017, he went on loan to Östersunds FK in Allsvenskan, but failed to make an impact, only making four league appearances for the side. He won the 2016–17 Svenska Cupen, the main domestic cup, with Östersund. In 2018, Bojanić played…

Between 2011 and 2014, Bojanić won several caps for both the Swedish U17 and U19 teams. Bojanić was called up to the Swedish senior squad for the training tour in early 2020. He made his debut in a 1–0 friendly win against Moldova on 9 January 2020. Three days later, on 12 January, he provided the assist to Simon Hedlund as Sweden won 1–0 against Kosovo. Manager Janne Andersson praised him as one of the best Swedish players during the tour. In 2021, Bojanić confirmed that he was contemplating switching his allegiance to Bosnia and Herzegovina, where his family originally is from, pending a call-up and an application for dual citizenship.

As a deep-lying playmaker, Bojanić is known for his strong passing game and technique. He is also a set piece-specialist.

His parents fled from Bosnia and Herzegovina during the Yugoslav Wars while his mother was pregnant with him. Bojanić was born in Växjö, Sweden, and grew up in Gislaved. His mother is of Croat descent, while his father is Bosnian. Bojanić is fluent in the Bosnian language.
