Batram Suri had a great career as a footballer, playing in Oceanian countries like New Zealand, Tahiti, Fiji, Solomon Islands and Vanuatu for over twenty years. He has almost 50 caps for National Team and scored ten goals.
He was one of the most proeminent Pacific Islands’ players during the 90s, being indicated for Oceanian Player of the Year award many times through this decade.
Some years after his retirement as a player in 2011, he started to work as a Head Coach. At his 48, he’s the current manager of Solomon Islands U23 squad, taking his nation to a silver medal in 2019 OFC Olympic Qualifier held in Fiji.
He’s not the only Suri currently involved with national team. Batram is father of Alden Suri. The young midfielder currently plays for Saint Nicholas High School and will have one of the greatest opportunities a football player can have once he’s one of the selected players to represent Solomon Islands in FIFA U17 World Cup in Brazil.
“My father is the motivational figure for me. Everyone knows who Batram Suri is. I love to make my own legacy as well. Internationally, Lingard is my model. His pace and his attacking runs are spot on. I try to be the best of myself everytime I play using these two models as motivation.” said Alden Suri for Raw Sports Newspaper.
Solomon Islands’ debut in World Cup will be on 29th October (28th October at Brazilian timezone) against Italy.
