Behrang Safari (Persian: بهرنگ صفری, Persian pronunciation: ; born 9 February 1985) is a Swedish international footballer who plays as a defender for Malmö FF in the Allsvenskan and previously for the Swedish national team.
Behrang Safari emigrated to Sweden as a two-year-old from Tehran with his family. They settled in the small town of Höganäs, and later moved to Lund when he was five.
Safari came through the ranks at Malmö FF and played his first game in the Allsvenskan in July 2004 when he came on as a substitute. He made his UEFA debut in the 2004 UEFA Intertoto Cup on 19 June 2004 against Cork City F.C.. He won the Allsvenskan in his first season and became a first-team regular the following season.
On 15 June 2008, Malmö announced that Safari had been sold to FC Basel in Switzerland. This was confirmed one day later by FCB Online. He made his Basel debut on 23 July 2008 in a 1–0 win over Grasshopper Club Zürich at St. Jakob-Park. He played his first European game in a Basel shirt on 30 July 2008 in a 1–1 Champions League qualifying match draw against IFK Göteborg at Ullevi. He scored his first goal for Basel in the 4–0 home win against BSC Young Boys on 7 February 2010. Safari won the double with Basel in 2010 and the Swiss national championship again in 2011. He played 94 league games for Basel during his three-year contract.
