Stefano Janite Lilipaly (born 10 January 1990) is a Dutch-Indonesian[2] professional footballer who plays for Eerste Divisie side Telstar as a midfielder.[1] Born in the Netherlands, Lilipaly represented his country of birth at youth level. Lilipaly made his debut for the Indonesia national team in 2013.[3] His father is Indonesian of Moluccan descent, while his mother is Dutch.

Club career

Lilipaly played for Dutch amateur side RKSV DCG for three years before joining Eredivisie club AZ's academy in 2000.[4] He moved to Utrecht the following year and progressed through their youth system.[4] Lilipaly made his first team debut for Utrecht in a league game at VVV-Venlo in August 2011,[5] and his first appearance in the starting eleven came in January 2012, where he scored the opening goal against PSV.[6] He played five times for Utrecht before joining Eerste Divisie club Almere City on a free transfer in the summer of 2012.[1][7]

On 17 December 2014, it was reported that he had agreed to join Persija.[8]

International career

Lilipaly represented the Netherlands at youth level, from the under-15s to under-18s.[4] He was eligible to represent the Netherlands or Indonesia at full international level through his parents; his mother being Dutch and his father Indonesian.[4] With little opportunity of playing for the Netherlands, Lilipaly took the Indonesian citizenship oath in October 2011,[9] alongside four other players, to make him officially available for selection.[10][11][12] He made his full international debut in August 2013 in a win 2-0 against the Philippines, when he made an assist for Greg Nwokolo.[13][14]

Lilipaly scored his first international goal for Indonesia in a match against Singapore in the 2016 AFF Championship, a late and decisive goal and made Indonesia qualified to the semifinal alongside Thailand.
