Different Fates for Two Indonesian Players at Oxford United This Season

Oxford United, majority-owned by Indonesian investors, concluded their Championship 2025 campaign in 17th place, accumulating 53 points out of 24 participating teams.

Contrasting Journeys of Marselino and Romeny

Two Indonesian national team players, Marselino Ferdinan and Ole Romeny, had very different seasons with The U’s. Marselino joined in August, while Romeny arrived during the January transfer window.

Manager’s Selection Preferences

Despite arriving later, manager Gary Rowett regularly started Romeny, whereas Marselino had to wait until the final week of the season to make his debut appearance.

Local Media Player Ratings

According to the Oxford Mail, players must play a minimum of 75 minutes in a match to receive a rating. As Marselino did not meet this requirement, he was not rated for the season.
