Early life
Vermansyah was born in Jember, East Java, to Saman, a Coolie, and Jumiah, a Tailor, both indigenous Javanese. Vermansyah spent his childhood selling ice as a means of earning money for his family. His parents, earning barely enough money for living expenditures, had little fund to help Vermansyah realize his dream as a footballer. At first Vermansyah was not allowed to pursue his footballing career due to his family's economic condition. However, a strongly motivated Vermansyah did not gave up on his dream of becoming a professional footballer. He did everything he could to pursue his dream by all means and to fund his burgeoning career he had to sell cake and ice, even playing football for inter-village tournament, just to be able to buy a pair of football shoes. Vermansyah received his big break when the coach of SSB Suryanaga, Rudi, discovered his talents. Rudi offered Vermansyah to play at a football academy in Jember, free of charge.[7]
