Ferdinand Alfred Sinaga is an Indonesian professional footballer who currently plays for PSM Makassar in the Indonesia Super League.

Personal life

Sinaga is a devout Catholic[1] who often celebrates goals by making the sign of the cross.[2] Sinaga was born to Samson Sinaga, a bus driver, and Risnalu Turnip. He is married to Aghie Veronicca and they have one child named Fabio.[3] Sinaga has more than eleven tattoos on his body, mostly on his arm and torso. Among his tattoos are the name of his wife and child, Catholic prayers, Virgin Mary and a Christian cross.[4]

Club career

Persib Bandung

In March 2014, Sinaga was banned for two matches by the PSSI for excessively cursing at a referee in a match against Semen Padang F.C. on February 16, 2014. He missed Persib's next matches against PS Barito Putera and Arema Cronus F.C.. In addition to the ban, he was also fined 25 million rupiahs for his behavior.[5]

On June 10, 2014, Sinaga scored a spectacular bicycle kick in a 3-1 win over PS Barito Putera.[6] He juggled the ball twice from a corner kick before unleashing an unstoppable overhead kick into the net.[7]

Sinaga played in the 2014 Indonesia Super League Final against Persipura Jayapura. Although he did not manage to score in normal time, Sinaga netted the second penalty for Persib in the 5-3 penalty shootout win.

Sriwijaya

On November 30, 2014, he was signed by Sriwijaya.[8]

International career

Ferdinand won his first cap for Indonesia in a friendly match against Jordan on August 27, 2011, where he played as a substitute.
