In a sunlit Lisbon apartment, Swedish football star Viktor Gyökeres trades cleats for couture in Vogue Scandinavia’s summer cover story, “The Superhero Next Door.” Shot by Élio Nogueira, the editorial captures a softer, more introspective side of the Sporting CP striker—one that blends athleticism with quiet charisma.
Known for his masked goal celebrations and explosive performances on the pitch, Viktor opens up about life off the field. From his Scandinavian roots to his new life in Portugal, the feature explores how he balances fame, fashion, and personal growth.
Styled in relaxed tailoring and sun-washed neutrals, Viktor embodies the modern-day hero: grounded, graceful, and effortlessly stylish. The editorial is a celebration of contrasts—strength and sensitivity, discipline and ease.
