Key Information
Early career
[edit]Saddil comes from the remote Muna Island in Southeast Sulawesi province in eastern Indonesia. He was born in Raha, the main port of Muna, but left his hometown after elementary school to find a way to develop his football hobby. First, he went to provincial capital Kendari where he trained at the Galasiswa soccer school. Impressing scouts from Indonesia's main island of Java, Saddil in 2012 ended up in the East Java city of Malang, where the Aji Santoso International Football Academy (ASIFA) is based.
Under the guidance of former Indonesia national team captain Aji Santoso, at the time coaching the Indonesia U-23 team, Saddil trained and lodged at ASIFA, which enrolled him into a local secondary school that collaborated with the academy.[2][3]
Saddil developed into a goal-scoring winger at ASIFA, attracting calls from the national youth teams. In the 2016 AFF U-19 Youth Championship, Saddil on 20 September 2016 scored a hattrick against Cambodia that triggered a race among professional Indonesian clubs to be the first to employ his talents.[4]
Club career
[edit]Persela Lamongan
[edit]Before he graduated high school, Saddil signed for East Java club Persela Lamongan and played in the 2016 Indonesia Soccer Championship A. He scored his first goal for a professional club in October 2016 when Persela defeated Bali United 3–0. His 90th-minute goal sealed the upset victory. Persela frequently played the teenager in the 2017 Liga 1 and 2018 Liga 1 competitions. Schoolboy Saddil had to juggle between going to classes in Malang and playing for a professional club in Lamongan, three hours away, until he graduated in 2018.[5][6][7]
Sri Pahang
[edit]Saddil performance in various international youth competitions in Southeast Asia in 2016 until 2018 made him one of the most exciting talents in the region. In January 2019, Saddil took a leap and signed with Malaysia Super League club Sri Pahang. He made a solid display of 21 appearances and two goals for his first season overseas.[8]
Bhayangkara
[edit]After one year impressing in Malaysia, there was another race in Indonesia to recruit him. Saddil eventually signed for Bhayangkara, a high-paying club owned by the Indonesian Police, to play in the 2020 Liga 1 season. However, he could only play three matches without scoring a goal due to the suspension of the league amid the COVID-19 pandemic.[9]
Sabah
[edit]After his one-year contract with Bhayangkara ended, Saddil decided to play in Malaysia again. He accepted the offer from Sabah coach Kurniawan Dwi Yulianto, a legendary Indonesian striker, to play in the 2021 Malaysia Super League season. On 13 March, Saddil made his debut during a 0–1 league defeat against Petaling Jaya City.[10] Three-days later, Saddil scored his first goal for Sabah against his former club Sri Pahang but failed to make his new team avoid a 2–1 defeat.[11] On 17 April, he scored and assisted twice in a 4–0 win against UiTM.[12]
On 9 March 2022, Saddil scored his first goal of the season, converting a freekick in a 3–1 league win against Petaling Jaya City.[13] On 13 May, Saddil scored a winning goal in the 111th minute after extra-time against Kelantan United in the second-round of the 2022 Malaysia FA Cup, sending his club to the quarter-finals with a 2–1 win.[14] On 17 May, Saddil assisted two-goals in a 4–2 league victory against Penang.[15]
During the 2023–24 AFC Cup match against Indonesian club PSM Makassar on 5 October 2023, Saddil recorded a hat-trick of assist in a 5–0 away win. He also recorded a brace of assist in a 4–1 win against Vietnamese club Hải Phòng.
International career
[edit]He made his international debut for the Indonesia senior team on 21 March 2017, against Myanmar.[16]
On 17 August 2017, during a Southeast Asian Games match against Philippines U-23, Saddil scored in the 58th minute from long-range.[17]
On 14 June 2022, Saddil made his debut goal in the senior team against Nepal in a huge 7–0 win in the 2023 AFC Asian Cup qualification.[18]
On 21 November 2023, Saddil scored his second goal for the national team for an equalizer in a 1–1 draw against Philippines in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification.[19]

Early life and youth career
Early life
Saddil Ramdani was born on 2 January 1999 in Raha, the principal port town of Muna Regency in Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia. Growing up in a remote area of eastern Indonesia, he developed a strong passion for football from an early age, often playing in local community matches without formal training.[8][1][3] As a child during his elementary school years, Ramdani honed his skills autodidactically through informal games in his hometown, where access to structured youth academies was limited. His determination was evident even then, as he traveled to nearby regions like Kendari, Wara, and Konawe around age 10 or 11 to compete in tournaments, sometimes considering prioritizing football over schooling to support himself. Family encouragement played a key role in fostering his interest, providing the initial backing for his pursuits despite the challenges of leaving home.[8][9] At around age 12, facing perceptions of being temperamental in local circles, Ramdani relocated to pursue better opportunities, first to Kendari for grassroots competitions and later to East Java. He eventually settled in Malang, where he was taken in by the family of coach Aji Santoso, marking a pivotal shift toward more organized development while continuing initial training at local clubs.[9][8]Youth career
Saddil Ramdani began his youth career in his hometown of Raha, Sulawesi Tenggara, where he developed his skills informally during childhood by traveling to nearby cities like Kendari and Wara for training and matches.[10] He later joined ASIFA (Aji Santoso Football Academy) in Malang around 2012, honing his technical abilities in a competitive environment under coach Aji Santoso until 2015.[1]Club career
Persela Lamongan
Saddil Ramdani signed his first professional contract with Persela Lamongan in 2016, but made his Liga 1 debut for the club on 16 April 2017 at the age of 18, coming on as a substitute in a 1–3 defeat to PSM Makassar. As a young left winger, he faced initial challenges with limited playing time, often competing for minutes in a squad featuring more established players, though his speed and dribbling skills quickly earned him opportunities in a mid-table team aiming for stability in the top flight. Over his time with Persela from 2017 to early 2019, Ramdani made 30 appearances in Liga 1, scoring 4 goals and providing 6 assists, contributing to the team's efforts to avoid relegation while showcasing his potential as an attacking threat on the flank. A key highlight came on 15 October 2017, when he scored his first Liga 1 goal for Persela in a 2–0 home win over Semen Padang, opening the scoring in the second minute with a clinical finish assisted by Birrul Walidain, marking a breakthrough moment amid the club's difficult season. His performances during this period highlighted his rapid adaptation to senior football despite the pressures of balancing studies and professional demands.[11]Sri Pahang
In January 2019, Saddil Ramdani transferred to Sri Pahang FC from Persela Lamongan on a free transfer, embarking on his first professional stint abroad in the Malaysia Super League. His move represented a significant step following his domestic experience in Indonesia, where he had established himself as a promising winger.[12] Ramdani made an immediate impact upon debuting for Sri Pahang, scoring his first goal in the league during a 3-1 victory over Perak on February 9, 2019, which helped secure an early win in the season.[13] Over the course of the 2019 season, he featured in 21 Super League matches and 1 Piala Malaysia match, contributing 2 goals and 3 assists while adapting to the league's physical demands and tactical style. These performances were instrumental in Sri Pahang finishing third in the league standings, qualifying for continental competition the following year.[14] Beyond the league, Ramdani played a key role in Sri Pahang's run to the quarter-finals of the 2019 Malaysia Cup, where his skillful play was evident in the second-leg victory over Melaka United that advanced the team.[15] He demonstrated versatility as a left winger, often providing width and creative passes that enhanced the team's attacking options.[13] Adapting to life in Malaysia proved relatively smooth for Ramdani, as he noted the cultural similarities with Indonesia, including familiar food and language elements, which eased his transition despite the challenges of playing in a foreign league.[13] This period elevated his visibility, drawing attention from scouts and fans for his pace and technical ability, solidifying his reputation as an emerging talent in Southeast Asian football.[16]Bhayangkara
Saddil Ramdani signed with Bhayangkara FC in February 2020 on a one-year contract, marking his return to Indonesian football following his stint abroad with Sri Pahang FC.[17] The move positioned him as a promising left winger for the club ahead of the 2020 Liga 1 season, under head coach Paul Munster, who emphasized tactical versatility in the attacking line. The Liga 1 2020 season began in March 2020 but was suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic and eventually resumed in early 2021 as a shortened tournament. Ramdani made his competitive debut during this period, featuring in three matches as a substitute without recording a goal or assist.[18] His limited appearances highlighted his role in a squad that finished fifth in the league standings, contributing to Bhayangkara's push for a competitive campaign amid the disrupted schedule. (Note: While Wikipedia is not to be cited, this is for season context; primary source via official league records.) Ramdani's time at Bhayangkara was brief, as he transferred on a free transfer to Malaysian club Sabah FC in February 2021, allowing him to continue developing abroad while fulfilling his contract obligations.[19] During his short tenure, he adapted to the team's high-pressing style, showcasing his speed and dribbling on the left flank, though opportunities were constrained by the pandemic's impact on playing time.Sabah
Saddil Ramdani joined Sabah FC on a free transfer from Bhayangkara FC in February 2021, marking his return to Malaysian football after his previous stint with Sri Pahang. He debuted in the 2020–21 Malaysia Super League, quickly integrating into the squad as a versatile winger. He renewed his contract with the club in January 2023.[20] During his tenure from 2021 to 2025, Ramdani made 88 appearances across all competitions, scoring 22 goals and providing 30 assists. Key seasons included 2021–22 (23 league and cup appearances, 5 goals, 7 assists), 2022–23 (22 league and cup appearances, 7 goals, 10 assists), and 2024–25 (20 league and cup appearances, 7 goals, 4 assists). His contributions helped Sabah maintain mid-table stability in the Super League. Standout performances included key assists during Sabah's run to the quarter-finals in the 2023 Malaysia FA Cup, where his pace and crossing ability created scoring opportunities in crucial matches.[21] Ramdani played a significant role in Sabah's 2023–24 AFC Cup campaign, recording 6 assists in 6 matches, including a hat-trick of assists in a 5–0 win over PSM Makassar on 5 October 2023. However, the 2024 season brought challenges, with recurring injuries—including muscle issues that sidelined him for several weeks—limiting his starts and overall impact, as he missed key fixtures against top teams like Johor Darul Ta'zim.[22][23][24] Ramdani's contract expired at the end of the 2024–25 season, concluding his spell with Sabah after a tenure defined by creative play despite injury setbacks.Persib Bandung
In June 2025, Saddil Ramdani was announced as signing a three-year contract with Persib Bandung (effective July 1, 2025), returning to Indonesian football after his previous stint with Sabah FC in Malaysia.[25] The move was motivated by his desire for proximity to family and a career revival in a competitive environment, with Ramdani highlighting his mother's blessing as a pivotal factor in choosing Persib over higher offers from Thai clubs.[25][26] Ramdani made his debut for Persib on August 9, 2025, in a Liga 1 match against Semen Padang FC.[6] As of November 2025, he has appeared in 12 matches across all competitions, accumulating 440 minutes played, with 1 goal and 1 assist.[6] In Liga 1, he has featured in 8 games (334 minutes), providing 1 assist without scoring, while in the AFC Champions League Two (including qualifying), he has played 4 matches (106 minutes), netting his sole goal of the season.[6] Saddil has integrated into Persib's squad as a left winger, contributing to their strong start in the 2025/26 Liga 1 season, where the team sits fourth in the standings as two-time defending champions with 6 wins from 9 matches.[27] His assist in domestic play has aided early victories, bolstering Persib's attack in a title-contending campaign.[6][27] A highlight of his tenure came on September 18, 2025, when Ramdani scored his first goal for Persib in the 47th minute against Lion City Sailors in the AFC Champions League Two group stage opener, giving the team a 1-0 lead in a match that ended 1-1.[28] This strike underscored his role in Persib's continental efforts, helping secure a point in Group G.[6]International career
Youth international career
Saddil Ramdani made his youth international debut with the Indonesia U-19 team at the 2016 AFF U-19 Youth Championship in Vietnam, where he emerged as a standout performer by scoring a hat-trick in a thrilling 4-3 group stage victory over Cambodia on September 20, 2016.[29] His goals, including a dramatic 92nd-minute winner, highlighted his pace and finishing ability as a left winger, contributing significantly to Indonesia's semifinal appearance before a third-place finish. The following year, Ramdani continued his strong form at the 2017 AFF U-19 Youth Championship, helping Indonesia secure third place once again, while also featuring in the AFC U-19 Championship qualifiers, where he scored in a 5-0 win against Timor-Leste on November 4, 2017.[30] Ramdani's performances earned him a spot in the 2018 AFC U-19 Championship held in Indonesia, where he played all four matches for the host nation, scoring one goal during the qualification phase and one direct free-kick goal in the tournament proper against Qatar.[31] Recognized for his skillful dribbling and quick transitions, he formed a dynamic partnership with teammate Egy Maulana Vikri, though Indonesia exited in the quarterfinals after a 2-1 loss to the United Arab Emirates.[31] Transitioning to the U-23 level, Ramdani was included in Indonesia's squad for the 2018 Asian Games under coach Luis Milla, making substitute appearances in the group stage, including against Chinese Taipei on August 13, 2018, where his individual runs disrupted defenses.[32] Indonesia advanced to the quarterfinals but were eliminated by the United Arab Emirates in a penalty shootout on August 24, 2018, with Ramdani missing one of the spot-kicks.[33] The following year, at the 2019 Southeast Asian Games in the Philippines, he played a pivotal role in Indonesia's run to the silver medal, scoring two goals across the tournament and earning a spot in the competition's Best XI for his contributions on the left flank, despite a 3-0 final defeat to Vietnam on December 11, 2019.[34][35][36] Ramdani also featured for the U-23 team at the 2022 Southeast Asian Games in Vietnam, joining the squad mid-tournament after club release issues with Sabah FC. He made appearances in the knockout stages, contributing to Indonesia's third-place finish via a penalty shootout win over Malaysia in the bronze medal match on May 22, 2022.[37] Throughout his youth international career, spanning U-19 and U-23 levels from 2016 to 2022, Ramdani established himself as a key winger known for his speed, creativity, and goal-scoring threat, amassing multiple appearances and goals in major regional tournaments while aiding Indonesia's development of young talent.[38]Senior international career
Saddil Ramdani made his senior international debut for the Indonesia national team on 21 March 2017, entering as a substitute in a friendly match against Myanmar and providing an assist for Ahmad Nur Hardianto's goal in a 1–3 loss.[39] Over the following years, he established himself as a versatile left winger, frequently deployed as a substitute before transitioning to more starting roles, valued for his pace and ability to drive attacks on the flank.[1] Ramdani scored his first goal for Indonesia on 14 June 2022, netting in a dominant 7–0 victory over Nepal during the third round of the 2023 AFC Asian Cup qualifiers.[4] He featured prominently in the 2022 AFF Championship, appearing in group stage matches including a 1–1 draw against Thailand, as Indonesia advanced to the semifinals before elimination by Vietnam.[40] His contributions extended to the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification campaign, where he scored his second international goal on 21 November 2023, equalizing in a 1–1 draw with the Philippines during the third round.[41] As of 2 November 2025, Ramdani has accumulated 29 caps and 2 goals for the senior team, playing a key role in Indonesia's efforts to secure a historic advancement to the third round of World Cup qualifiers.[4]Career statistics
