Stefano Janite Lilipaly (born 10 January 1990) is a Dutch-born naturalized 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]

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 December 17, 2014, it was reported that he have 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 against the Philippines.[13][14]
