Early career

Saddil Ramdani 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 Indonesian national football team captain Aji Santoso who was also coaching the Indonesia national under-23 football team at that time, Saddil trained and lodged at ASIFA, which also enrolled him into a local secondary school that collaborates with the academy.[5][6]

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.[7]

Club career

Persela Lamongan

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.[8][9][10]

Pahang F.A.

His performance in various international youth competitions in Southeast Asia in 2016-18 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 Pahang F.A. He made a solid display of 21 appearances and two goals for his first season overseas.[11]

Bhayangkara

After one year impressing in Malaysia, there was another race in Indonesia to recruit him. He eventually signed for Bhayangkara F.C., 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.[12]

Sabah F.C.

After his one-year contract with Bhayangkara ended, Saddil decided to play in Malaysia again. He accepted the offer from Sabah FC coach Kurniawan Dwi Yulianto, a legendary Indonesian striker, to play in the 2021 Malaysia Super League season.

Saddil scored his first goal for Sabah on 16 March 2021 against his former club Pahang but failed to make his new team avoid defeat.

On 11 April he scored his second goal in a 1-1 draw against Penang FC.[13] the following matchday, he scored and assisted a goal in a 4-0 win against UiTM FC.[14]

International career

He made his international debut for the Indonesia senior team on 21 March 2017, against Myanmar.[15]

On 17 August 2017, during a Southeast Asian Games match against Philippines U-23, Saddil scored in the 58th minute from long-range.[16]
