A rising goalkeeper with Indonesian roots
Introducing Ferran Alinegara, a remarkable talent with Indonesian roots. Though initially excelling as a soccer player at a high amateur level, Ferran harbored a penchant for goalkeeping. It wasn't until a few years ago that he made the pivotal decision to transition into this role—a decision that has proven to be immensely fruitful.
Leveraging his experience as a versatile soccer player, Ferran exhibits exceptional skills both on the field and between the posts, a valuable trait for modern goalkeepers.
Currently refining his abilities at the Ado den Haag academy in the Netherlands, Ferran, at just 13 years old, stands tall at 172 CM. Born in the Netherlands to parents of Indonesian descent, Ferran's lineage is deeply rooted in Indonesian culture, with both sets of grandparents originating from Indonesia.
Notably, his father holds Indonesian citizenship (WNI), proudly anchoring their familial ties to Indonesia.
Born in 2010, Ferran possesses dual citizenship of Indonesia and the Netherlands, a testament to his multicultural background. This duality holds promise for the Indonesian national team, sparing Ferran the arduous naturalization process should he be called upon to represent his ancestral homeland.
Impressively, Ferran has already embarked on his educational journey at Ado den Haag, demonstrating his commitment to both academic and athletic pursuits from a young age. With his dedication and talent, Ferran aspires to earn the coveted opportunity to don the Indonesian national team jersey.
Adding to his rich background, Ferran's parents own an Indonesian Toko in The Hague, a testament to their culinary heritage and familial legacy. Established by Ferran's grandfather in 1986, the Toko stands as a beacon of authentic Indonesian cuisine, offering delectable dishes and delicately spiced Indonesian specialties.
So, Ferran, continue to train diligently, give your best, and enjoy the flavors of Indonesian cuisine—it's a recipe for success!
