Svensson´s family moved to Switzerland in 2001, and he grew up in the French-speaking part of the country. He initially played tennis and began athletics to improve his conditioning for the sport.
Having previously represented Sweden internationally, Svensson decided in 2019 to change national teams and henceforth, to compete for Switzerland in the future. During his transition time, he was not eligible to represent any nation resulting in him not competing internationally for three years. He became eligible to compete for Switzerland in 2022.
