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 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 Javor Ivanjica. [8]

FK Pohronie

On 10 January 2020, it was announced that Tandir will return to Slovak Fortuna Liga for a half-season loan at the season's novice club FK Pohronie, based in the town of Žiar nad Hronom. This was to be his second try in the league, following a spell at Ružomberok. [9] During the winter friendlies, Tandir scored 4 goals.

Tandir made his Fortuna Liga debut for Pohronie on 15 February 2020 against Nitra at pod Zoborom. The match concluded in a goal-less tie, despite both teams being in a direct threat of relegation. Tandir played from the start as a centre forward along with Roland Gerebenits. He completed 90 minutes of the match. [10]

Overall, Tandir had appeared five-times for Pohronie with all appearances coming in the Fortuna Liga. On 30 June 2020, manager Mikuláš Radványi opted not to extend his loan and Tandir was released by the club as an unnecessary player, without scoring a single goal, despite the fact that the season was not yet concluded, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. [11]

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 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]
