Marselino Ferdinan  is a highly-rated and exciting Indonesian international. The 19-year-old forward arrives in Oxford with 26 caps for his country and three goals, and last year helped Indonesia Under-22s win the Southeast Asian Games for the first time in 32 years.

Marselino also holds the record as the youngest international goalscorer in Indonesia, and this year became the youngest goalscorer in Asian Cup finals round history. 

Marselino was also a key player for the Indonesian U-23 team, who reached the semi-finals of the 2024 AFC U-23 Championship and led Indonesia to the Olympic play-offs against Guinea in Paris last May.

In club football, Marselino started his career in Indonesia, and spent last season with Deinze in Belgium.

One of the rising stars of Asian football, Marselino would be the first Indonesian-born player to feature in the Sky Bet Championship if selected by the U’s this season.
