=== IF Elfsborg ===
Wiland made his senior debut for Elfsborg in an away game against [[Halmstad BK]] on 4 May 2000, and was denied the clean sheet from a 91st-minute penalty kick. Throughout the rest of the season, the 19-year old Wiland rotated with the far more experienced [[Anders Bogsjö]] as Elfsborg's first choice.<ref name="svff">{{cite news|url=https://svenskfotboll.se/arkiv/tidigare/2008/07/johan-wiland-radar-upp-nollorna/|title=Johan Wiland - radar upp nollorna|publisher=SvFF|date=11 July 2008|access-date=23 August 2017|language=sv}}</ref>

The game ended 1–1 after full-time and overtime, but Elfsborg won 9–10 on penalties.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://svenskfotboll.se/cuper-och-serier/svenska-cupen-herrar/resultat-tidigare-ar/20002001/|title=Elfsborg vann cupdrama|publisher=SvFF|date=25 May 2001|access-date=23 August 2017|language=sv}}</ref> On 9 August the same year, Wiland made his continental debut in a [[Europa League|UEFA Cup]] qualifying fixture against the [[Estonia]]n side [[JK Narva Trans|Narva Trans]].

Except from missing a few games due to suspensions, Wiland played all of Elfsborg's competitive games in Allsvenskan between 2002 and 2004. The club finished in the lower regions of the table during all three of the campaigns.<ref name="svff"/> In 2003, Elfsborg won the Svenska Cupen again, beating [[Assyriska FF]] in the final on 1 November. Johan Wiland kept a clean sheet as [[Lasse Nilsson]] scored a brace, deciding the result to 2–0 at [[Råsunda Stadium]].<ref>{{cite news |date=1 November 2003 |title=Lasse Nilsson sköt pokalen till Elfsborg |trans-title=Lasse Nilsson shot the trophy to Elfsborg. |url=https://svenskfotboll.se/arkiv/tidigare/2003/11/lasse-nilsson-skot-pokalen-till-elfsborg/ |access-date=23 August 2017 |publisher=SvFF |language=sv}}</ref> Elfsborg participated in the [[2004–05 UEFA Cup]], where the club eventually lost in the [[2004–05 UEFA Cup first round|first round]] against the [[Croatia]]n side Dinamo Zagreb.

In 2008, Wiland set a new league record when he kept 19 clean sheets in one season.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://svenskfotboll.se/allsvenskan/historik/individuella-rekord/|title=Individuella rekord (t o m 2016)|publisher=SvFF|access-date=23 August 2017|language=sv}}</ref> Elfsborg eventually finished 2nd in the league and Wiland attracted much interest from clubs abroad. During the fall of 2008, he turned down a move to the [[Premier League]] side [[Tottenham Hotspur F.C.|Tottenham]]. He was reportedly sought out as a back-up to [[Heurelho Gomes]], but Wiland wanted to play more regularly.<ref>{{cite news |date=22 January 2009 |title=Därför nobbade Johan Wiland Tottenham |trans-title=Here's why Johan Wiland turned down Tottenham. |url=http://www.expressen.se/sport/fotboll/darfor-nobbade-johan-wiland-tottenham/ |access-date=23 August 2017 |publisher=Expressen |language=sv}}</ref> At the end of the year, Wiland was prized as the Swedish Goalkeeper of the Year at the annual [[Fotbollsgalan]], hosted by the [[Swedish Football Association]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://fogis.se/fotbollsgalan/arkiv/tidigare/2008/11/arets-malvakt-2008/|title=Årets Målvakt 2008|publisher=Svensk Fotboll|date=November 2008|access-date=1 September 2017|language=sv}}</ref>

In January 2009, Wiland moved to [[F.C. Copenhagen]] in the [[Danish Superliga]]. He signed a five-year deal with the club, and a fee of 8 million Danish kroner (approximately £1 million) was suggested.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.aftonbladet.se/sportbladet/fotboll/internationell/article11470895.ab|title=Johan Wiland till FCK|publisher=Aftonbladet|date=28 July 2008|access-date=1 September 2017}}</ref>

At first, Wiland struggled to get playing time, acting as a back-up to Danish international [[Jesper Christiansen (footballer, born 1978)|Jesper Christiansen]] during the whole spring of 2009.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.fotbollskanalen.se/andra-ligor/wiland-vill-lamna-banken-i-fc-kopenhamn/|title=Wiland vill lämna bänken i FCK|publisher=Fotbollskanalen|date=17 July 2009|access-date=29 August 2017}}</ref>

During the next season, in [[2009–10 Danish Superliga|2009–10]], Wiland established himself as the first choice goalkeeper at Copenhagen. In 2010, Wiland won a number of honours including [[Det Gyldne Bur|Goalkeeper of the Year in Denmark]] and Swedish Goalkeeper of the Year (for the second time in his career).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.aftonbladet.se/article12665703.ab|title=Johan Wiland blev årets målvakt|publisher=Aftonbladet|date=15 November 2010|access-date=29 August 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://svenskfotboll.se/arkiv/svensk-fotboll/2010/11/arets-malvakt-2010-sofia-lundgren-och-johan-wiland/?archiveId=17516|title=Årets målvakt 2010: Sofia Lundgren och Johan Wiland|publisher=SvenskFotboll|date=15 November 2010|access-date=1 September 2017}}</ref> During the campaign, Wiland was also named in the [[2010–11 UEFA Champions League|UEFA Champions League]] "Team of the week".<ref name="UEFA">{{cite web|url=http://en.uclratings.uefa.com/Player/TeamOfWeek/ |title=UEFA Team of the week |publisher=[[UEFA]] |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101031152326/http://en.uclratings.uefa.com/Player/TeamOfWeek |archive-date=31 October 2010 }}</ref>

In [[2012–13 Danish Superliga|2012–13]], Wiland suffered from a number of injuries and his form declined. Manager [[Ståle Solbakken]] openly criticized the goalkeeper's form.

During the summer of 2014, Wiland lost his place in the first team at Copenhagen, following the signing of the Danish international [[Stephan Andersen]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.bold.dk/fodbold/nyheder/staale-wiland-var-svag-sidste-aar/|title= Ståle: Wiland var svag sidste år|publisher=Expressen|date=6 November 2014|access-date=1 September 2017}}</ref><ref name="Expressen"/> Wiland remained at the bench throughout the whole year and saw his playing time limited to one appearance in the [[Danish Cup]].<ref>{{cite web |date=22 July 2015 |title=Nu är Johan Wiland på plats i Malmö FF |trans-title=Now Johan Wiland is in place at Malmö FF. |url=http://www.skd.se/2015/07/22/nu-ar-johan-wiland-pa-plats-i-malmo-ff/ |access-date=29 August 2017 |publisher=Skånska Dagbladet}}</ref>

In total, Wiland played 141 games in the Danish Superliga during his stint at Copenhagen.
