Club career

Radnik Surdulica

Sulaeman joined Serbian SuperLiga club Radnik Surdulica in February 2020 on a three-and-a-half year deal.[2] However the season was soon suspended as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic for a period of two-and-a-half months, during which he returned to Indonesia.[3] He finally made his professional debut on 14 June 2020, coming on for Bogdan Stamenković during a 4–2 SuperLiga defeat to Radnički Niš.[4][5]

International career

At the age of 16 Witan made his international debut with Indonesia U19 in the 2017 Toulon Tournament on 31 May 2017 against Brazil U20 with a score of 1-0 defeat. Later that year he scored a brace in a 8–0 win over Brunei at the 2017 AFF U-18 Youth Championship.[6] He also scored in the third-place match against Myanmar.

At the 2018 AFC U-19 Championship held in Indonesia, Sulaeman scored two goals in a group stage win over Chinese Taipei before scoring the lone goal in a 1–0 victory over the United Arab Emirates to lead his team to the quarterfinals for the first time in 40 years.[7]
