Wessam Dukhan has left Örebro SK and signed for FBK Karlstad. Örebro SK's sporting director Enes Ahmetovic and the player agreed to terminate his contract, which covered the 2026 season, and the move to the Ettan Norra club was made official this week.
The club confirmed the news on its official website, according to a report from Fotbolltransfers. Dukhan, who is 21 years old, came up through the academy to the first team but only made five league appearances in 2025. This season he has not featured in the Superettan, where Örebro SK currently sits in 15th place with 19 points from 20 rounds.
Why is Dukhan leaving Örebro SK?
The agreement to terminate the contract was mutual. Enes Ahmetovic expressed his appreciation for the player's development path. "Wessam is a very fine person who has come through our academy to our men's team," the sporting director said. "We consider it extremely important to give the boys from our own ranks the conditions to get the opportunity to develop further."
For Dukhan, the move is about finding regular playing time. In Karlstad, he gets a chance in Ettan Norra, a level that may suit a young player needing match practice better. Örebro SK's situation in the Superettan, with a recent form of WDLLD over their last five games, has made it difficult to rotate the squad. The team has conceded 32 goals and scored 20, resulting in a goal difference of minus 12.
What does it mean for Örebro SK's squad?
The move frees up a spot in the first-team squad. Örebro SK has had a tough spring with only four wins so far. They are a full 28 points behind league leaders IFK Norrköping. Losing an academy product is always a disappointment, but it also opens opportunities for other young talents in the squad.
The club has an important home fixture against Östersunds FK on September 6th. Östersund is third in the table, making the match a significant challenge.

What does Wessam Dukhan say about the move?
The player thanked the club for his time. "It has been a fun and educational journey for me and I wish the club the best of luck going forward," Dukhan said. His career at Örebro SK began in the youth setup and culminated in a first-team debut. Now, a new chapter awaits at FBK Karlstad.
For Örebro SK, the focus is now entirely on turning the trend in the Superettan. With a place in the lower half of the table and form that needs improving, every match point is important. The loss of Dukhan does not impact the immediate starting eleven, but it highlights the need to develop and retain talent from their own production for the future.
