I just read the news this morning and quite surprised because Indonesian F.A (PSSI), Called up 8 Players that has Indonesian Descent or who are playing abroad to join the Indonesian U-23 TC for the Olympic 2012 and SEA Games 2011. Here are the name of the 8 Players : 1. Syamsir Alam (PENAROL/URUGUAY) He is Indonesia's most promising young footbaall player. Spent 3 years with Indonesia u-17 who plays in Uruguayan League, now he is on loan with Uruguayan Giants, A.C PENAROL. 2. Syaffarizal Mursalin Agri (AL Khor/Qatar) Another young Indonesian Player who is playing abroad. Both of his parent are Indonesian, but he lives in Qatar because his dad has a job there. He's been living in Qatar since the age of 4. 3. James Zaidan Saragih (NY Cosmos/ USA) His parents are Indonesian but living in NY. He was born in NY so automatically he is a U.S citizen. He is willing to become Indonesian Citizen and join the national team. 4. Arthur Irawan (on trial with NOrth Preston End/ ENGLAND) I know nothing about this player.
5. Andrea Bitar (FC CANNES/FRANCE) His parents are french so does he. But he's been living in Indonesia for 17 years. Now Andrea willing to play for Indonesian NT. Actually I also know nothing about this player. 6. Stefano Lilipaly (FC Utrecht/HOLLAND) He's got Indonesian heritage and playing for FC Utrecht Junior at the moment. Also a current Holland U-21! 7. Mark Van De Maarel (FC Utrecht/Holland) He also got Indonesian Heritage, he is playing on the 1st team of FC Utrecht and also a current member of Holland U-21! 8. Oliver Rifai (AZ Alkmaar/Holland) He is still very young, His dad is Indonesian and his mom is dutch. A former member of Holland u-17. And for Indonesia NT 3 Dutch players with Indonesian heritage will get their Indonesian Passport/Citizenship soon. They are Sergio Van Dijk (Passport will be issued around February 2011), Raphael Guillermo Maitimo (Passport will be Issued around February 2011), Johnny Van Beukering (Passport will be issued around April 2011), So hopefully there will be no delay and they can play in the upcoming matches for Indonesia, especially the World Cup Qualifying.
anyone wish to comment on this http://leohoenig.com/2011/01/18/new-battles-for-indonesian-football/ ANyone know more about LPI and ISL?
LPI is a new league, The league is the brainchild of oil tycoon Arifin Panigoro, and he says he intends it to improve football in the region, he wants to make Indonesian clubs become professional. Because ISL the official league that formed by Indonesian FA is not fully professional, their biggest income is from the fund of government. LPI is just like A-league, each club will have 1 marquee player. So far LPI has attracted names like Amancio Fortes (ANgola/SEMARANG UNITED), Richard Knoppers (Holland/PSM MAKASSAR), Lee Hendrie (ENgland/BANDUNG FC), AMaral (Brazil/Manado United). Some of LPI clubs has their own website ready such as : Bogor Raya FC http://www.bogorrayafc.com/ Medan Chiefs http://medanchiefs.com/ Jakarta 1928 FC http://www.jakartafc.com/
Lee hendrie finally signed a contract with Bandung FC. source: http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2011/01/26/lee-hendrie-join-bandung-fc-lpi.html Another Marquee player that already playing in LPI is Amaral (Ex-Fiorentina)
news from Indonesia U-23 TC, 2 DUtch players that has Indonesian Heritage will join the Indonesian U-23 squad for the next SEA Games tournament. They both playing as a defender. They are : DIego Michiels (GO Ahead Eagles/ Holland) RUben Wuarbanaran (FC DEN BOSCH/ Holland)
If East Bengal is looking for point for this match, they should attacking from the first minute, Persipura is a team that kinda slow to get their game on. I am still thinking Persipura will win probably 2-0
Alright, Finally 3 Indonesian-Dutch Players has gained their Indonesian nationality and will be eligible to play in SEA GAMES, They are Ruben Wuarbanaran, Diego Michels, Joey Suk. There are 4 other Indonesian-Dutch Players still waiting for their Indonesian Passports ( Johnny Van Beukering, Sergio Van DIjk, Tonnie Cusset, Stefano Lilipaly)
Congrats on the new acquisitions. If you can get all those other players, and combine with the locals, your team will be a force to be reckoned with in the WC qualifiers.
i saw on the indonesian u-23 wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indonesia_national_under-23_football_team the page listed the following: Fahja Rahmat (Liverpool) Aldi Ardianto (Barcelona) Ahmad Fadillah (AC Milan) are those real players or they are fake from wikipedia vandalism?
They are fake from wikipedia vandlism but these are real : MF Joey Suk July 8, 1989 (1989-07-08) (Netherland-Go Ahead Eagles) DF Ruben Wuarbanaran August 15, 1990 (1990-08-15) (Indonesia-Pelita Jaya) <---ex-FC den Bosch, recently moves to Pelita Jaya DF Diego Michiels August 8, 1990 (1990-08-08) (age 20) 0 0 (Indonesia-Pelita Jaya)<--ex-Go Ahead Eagles, recently moves to Pelita Jaya
so it appears that for the oversea players to get indonesian citizenship they must play for an indonesian club?
Did these players have to give up their Dutch citizenship to play for your national team. From what I understand, Indonesian law does not allow dual citizenship. This will make it harder for some players to accept the offer.
Yeah, the Indonesian government doesn't recognize dual nationality. http://www.multiplecitizenship.com/wscl/ws_INDONESIA.html
I also found this on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indonesian_nationality_law They do not recognize dual citizenship above the age of 18.
Yes those players are willing to give up their dutch citizenship. anyway, there is a nice article about Belgian-Indonesian football players Radja Nainggolan: The Indonesia icon Serie A have been screaming out for http://www.tribalfootball.com/artic...-icon-serie-a-have-been-screaming-out-1633801 source: tribalfootball
