Roger Ljung (born 8 January 1966) is a Swedish retired footballer who played as a left back.
In a ten-year professional career he played, other than in his country, in Switzerland, Austria, Turkey and Germany, representing six teams, mainly Malmö and Admira Wacker.
A Swedish international on nearly 60 occasions, Ljung represented the country in two World Cups – helping to a third-place finish in 1994 – and Euro 1992.
Born in Lomma, Scania, Ljung started his football career at the age of six, with lowly Lunds BK. In 1985 he was purchased by Malmö FF, being mostly used as a substitute in his early years and being on the roster as the club won five Allsvenskan championships in a row, with the player contributing regularly in the 1987 and 1988 editions.
In the summer of 1989, Ljung transferred to BSC Young Boys in Switzerland, moving in the following season to another side in the Swiss Super League, FC Zürich. He enjoyed his best individual years in Austria with FC Admira Wacker, scoring 26 Bundesliga goals in 67 games in his first two years combined, albeit without team silverware.
