Yakob Sayuri (born 9 September 1997) is an Indonesian professional footballer who plays as a winger for Liga 1 club PSM Makassar and the Indonesia national team.[3]

Club career[]

Early career[]

Coming from the remote island chain of Yapen in Papua province, Sayuri has no experience training in any soccer school or organized youth team. He started his professional career in 2017 in the third-tier of Indonesian football with Persewar Waropen after coach Eduard Ivakdalam, a former national team player, found Sayuri casually playing in his hometown of Serui. Sayuri followed Ivakdalam when the coach in 2018 moved to train Persemi Mimika, another Liga 3 team from Papua. Coaches with interests in raw Papuan talents started to observe Sayuri.

Barito Putera[]

Brazilian coach Jacksen F. Tiago, who played and coached for the leading club in Papua, Persipura Jayapura, was one of the coaches with an eye on Papuan talent. Tiago in 2019 recruited Sayuri to play for Liga 1 club Barito Putera, which is based in the South Kalimantan provincial capital of Banjarmasin on Borneo island. In his breakout season, Sayuri played 25 matches and scored twice for his first top-flight team. His meteoric rise from no previous club to becoming a starter of a Liga 1 team within two years earned him a call to join the Indonesia U-23 team in mid-2019.

PSM Makassar[]

Sayuri's 2019 performance led the oldest team in Liga 1, PSM Makassar, to hire him in 2020. While the 2020 Liga 1 season only lasted for three matches due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Sayuri impressed in PSM's international matches in the 2020 AFC Cup against clubs from Singapore, Myanmar and the Philippines. This led to invitations to train for the Indonesia senior team under coach Shin Tae-yong.[4]

International career[]

Sayuri made his international debut for Indonesia U-23 on 7 June 2019 against Thailand U-23 and Philippines U-23 on 9 June 2019 at the 2019 Merlion Cup.[5] He received a call to join the senior Indonesian national football team in May 2021. He earned his first senior cap in a 25 May 2021 friendly match in Dubai against Afghanistan.[6][7]
