Club career

Born in Almere in the Netherlands, Riedewald's footballing career began with FC Almere, before joining the academy of Utrecht at under-10 level in 2016. [2] He stayed with Utrecht for two years before spending six months with BFC Bussum, where he was scouted by Almere City. [3] [4] Having missed out on game-time with Almere City due to the club not having an under-14 side, he decided to enroll at the Wooter Academy in Amstelveen, also playing for RKAV due to a collaboration between the two academies. [3]

In February 2022 he joined the academy of Ajax, following a week-long trial. [3] After a year with Ajax, Riedewald moved to AZ Alkmaar. [5]

International career

Though born in the Netherlands, Riedewald is of Surinamese descent, while his grandparents are from the Indonesian islands of Java and Banda Neira in the province of Maluku. [5] He was called up to the Suriname under-17 side for the 2023 CONCACAF U-17 Championship, and played in all three games as Suriname were knocked out in the group stages.

Personal life

Riedewald is related to Netherlands international footballer Jaïro Riedewald, but has stated that they are very distant relatives, despite Indonesian media reporting them to be nephew and uncle. [3] [6]
