Jan Olsson was in the Swedish World Cup squad for Mexico in 1970 and won the Ballon d’Or the same year. In total, he played 22 games in the blue-yellow shirt.

In Sweden he is mainly linked to Gais, although he also belonged to rival Örgryte towards the end of his career. In Gais, he broke through before the move went to Germany and more specifically to Stuttgart.
