Jakarta

Jordi Amat appears on Spanish television shows and gives interviews. The Indonesian national team star revealed his family origins. What’s the story like?

Jordi Amat appeared in the television program ‘Tot se mou’ which was broadcast Catalan Media Corporation (CCMA), Friday (27/1/2023). He was interviewed by journalist Helena Garcia Melero online.

Helena introduces Jordi Amat as a footballer born in Canet de Mar, Catalunya, who is currently defending the Indonesian national team. Jordi Amat is also known as a former U-21 Spanish national team player who has played for Espanyol, Rayo Vallecano and Real Betis.

In the interview, Jordi Amat was asked about how he could change citizenship. The Johor Darul Ta’zim player also explained the origins of his ancestors.

Jordi Amat calls himself a descendant of the Siau Royal family, North Sulawesi, from the mother’s line. His great-grandfather was the king of Siau and Jordi is still considered the crown prince.

“When I was little, my grandmother told me that I was the crown prince, but I thought that was just a story and nothing more,” Jordi Amat said on the show ‘Tot se mou’, quoted from CCMA.

“It’s not on the level of what we know as princes, and it’s not on par with the titles of the kings of Spain. So it’s not going to change my life much.”

“Siau Island is very beautiful, with clear water, very virgin and with one of the most active volcanoes in Indonesia,” Jordi Amat describes his ancestral land.

Jordi Amat also explained his naturalization process in Indonesia in November 2022. The 30-year-old player also admitted that he meets President Joko Widodo once a year.
