Career

Although he was born in Stockholm, Mrabti moved to Enköping as a five year old and started out playing for the local club Enköpings SK.[2] At age 17 he played a big part in Enköping winning their fourth tier league and getting promoted.[3] After two seasons with IK Sirius in the third tier and second tier Superettan, Mrabti was sold to Allsvenskan club Djurgårdens IF in early 2015 for 600,000–700,000 SEK.[4]

International career

Mrabti has represented both the Sweden national under-19 football team and the Sweden national under-21 football team.[5]

Personal life

Mrabtis father is Tunisian while his mother is half swedish and half finnish.[6] He first became a Djurgårdens IF supporter after attending the 2003–04 UEFA Champions League qualifier against FK Partizan and also visited the Djurgården training grounds to collect autographs from the players.[6]
