Career

Ottosson started his senior career in Eskilsminne IF in 2013, and was a regular player for several years before joining Västerås SK in 2019.{{cite web|url=https://fotbolltransfers.com/spelare/filip-ottosson/6198|title=Filip Ottosson|publisher=Fotbolltransfers|language=sv|access-date=30 April 2025}} He made his Superettan debut in May 2019,{{soccerway|filip-ottosson/304337|access-date=30 April 2025}} and his first start came in June.{{cite news|url=https://www.fagersta-posten.se/2019-06-25/vsk-stjarnorna-bankas-ottosson-far-chansen-fran-start-mot-dalkurd/|title=VSK-stjärnorna bänkas – Ottosson får chansen från start mot Dalkurd|last=Åbonde|first=Oliver|date=25 June 2019|work=Fagersta-Posten|language=sv|access-date=30 April 2025}}

The stay in Västerås was ultimately not successful, but after another year in Eskilsminne he returned to the Superettan in 2021, this time with Landskrona BoIS. Here he established himself as their leader in assists.{{cite news|url=https://www.hd.se/2021-03-27/filip-ottosson-har-hittat-ratt-snabbt-i-bois-jag-har-tagit-det-steg-for-steg/|title=Filip Ottosson har hittat rätt snabbt i BoIS: ”Jag har tagit det steg för steg”|last=Larsson|first=Christer|date=27 March 2021|work=Helsingborgs Dagblad|language=sv|access-date=30 April 2025}}{{cite news|url=https://www.hd.se/2021-07-20/filip-ottosson-toppar-bois-interna-liga-har-alltid-haft-en-bra-fot/|title=Filip Ottosson toppar BoIS interna liga: ”Har alltid haft en bra fot"|last=Ohlsson|first=Gabriel|date=20 July 2021|work=Helsingborgs Dagblad|language=sv|access-date=30 April 2025}}

After two years in Landskrona, Ottosson got the chance in the highest league; not in Sweden, but in the Norwegian Eliteserien when he was signed by Sandefjord.{{cite news|url=https://skanesport.se/2022/12/31/filip-ottosson-lamnar-landskrona-bois-for-norska-sandefjord/|title=Filip Ottosson lämnar Landskrona BoIS för norska Sandefjord|date=31 December 2022|publisher=Skånesport|language=sv|access-date=30 April 2025}} Ottosson had barely heard about Sandefjord, but was aware of their manager Andreas Tegström.{{cite news|url=https://www.sb.no/fra-ukjent-svenske-til-lederen-i-gruppa-har-skjedd-naturlig/f/5-73-1824361|title=Fra ukjent svenske til lederen i gruppa: – Har skjedd naturlig|last=Aas|first=Magnus Lutnæs|date=14 April 2024|work=Sandefjords Blad|language=no|access-date=30 April 2025}} Ottosson instantly became a key player, playing every one of the 2700 minutes in the 2023 Eliteserien.{{cite news|url=https://www.fotbollskanalen.se/norge-1/ottosson-spelade-samtliga-minuter-drommer-om-allsvenskan/|title=Ottosson spelade samtliga minuter - drömmer om allsvenskan|last=Wannerholt|first=Calle|date=5 December 2023|publisher=Fotbollskanalen|language=sv|access-date=30 April 2025}} Ahead of the 2024 season he donned the captain's armband. His role in the team was that of ball holder and passer in central midfield.
