Viktor Alestig | GK | Gothenburg, Sweden
Viktok Alestig, a goalkeeper from Gothenburg, Sweden, will come to the states this August to join the Tigers after a promising career in the Allsvenskan youth system.
A Swedish National Champion in U19 with BK Häcken in 2024, Alestig led the club to a dominant season that saw Häcken also advance to the finals in the U19 Scandinavian Championship. He also captained the U21 squad.
For his success at the club level, Alestig was invited to participate in a Swedish national team camp in the summer of 2024. He was also rostered for an Allsvenskan road game after training with the first team regularly – something that also earned him a feature in EA FC26.
Off the field, Alestig was awarded for having the top grades in his class, and he serves as a goalkeeper coach for many of the BK Häcken youth camps.
His mother, Ulrika, was a reserve goalkeeper with Jitex BK during their 1989 Swedish Championship campaign. She played alongside former USWNT coach and two-time Olympic Gold Medalist Pia Sundhage.
