Ismar "Izzy" Tandir (born August 19, 1995) is a Bosnian-Herzegovinian footballer striker, who currently plays for MFK Ružomberok in the Slovakian Fortuna Liga.

Club career

Born in Frankfurt, Germany, he moved to the United States still as a child.[1] Tandir initially played in the New York Red Bulls Academy where he won two national championships, first with the U16 and then with U18 teams.[1] He was the top scorer in the New York Red Bulls Academy in the last two seasons before moving to FC Sochaux in December 2012.[2] At Sochaux, he scored 11 goals in 19 appearances for their B team.[3]

Tandir signed his first professional contract with USL Pro club Sacramento Republic on August 19, 2014.[3] He made one appearance for Sacramento.[1] Next, he moved again to Europe, this time moving to Iceland and signing with Breiðablik UBK in March 12, 2015.[4][5] He made two appearances with Breiðablik in the 2015 Úrvalsdeild.[4]

In December 2015 Tandir signed with Spanish side Deportivo Aragón, the reserve team of Real Zaragoza.[6][7] In July 15, 2016, he signed a 3-year contract with Serbian top-league side FK Javor Ivanjica.[8]

International career

Despite being born in Germany, Tandir has U.S. citizenship as well as Bosnian-Herzegovinian citizenship via his family roots.[2] Bosnia called him into a U19 men’s national team camp in 2012 for his first international experience. His performance in that camp, and others since then, had made him receive regular calls for Bosnia and Herzegovina youth teams.[2]
