Amlani Tatu

Club career Adelaide United After starting with the youth team, Tatu signed his first professional contract with Adelaide United in August 2024. He made his competitive debut at home against Newcastle Jets on 15 February 2025.

International career In March 2024, Tatu earned his first international call-up to the Australian national under-17 team for a two-week training camp in Italy. In June, Tatu was recalled into the under-17s side for the ASEAN U-16 Boys Championship, hosted at Surakarta, Indonesia. After Australia qualified from the group stage, Tatu scored a brace in a 5–3 semi-final win over Indonesia on 1 July. Australia won the cup from a 8–7 penalty shoot-out win over Thailand, after a 1–1 draw in regular time.

Tatu was named in the under-17s squad for the 2025 U-17 Asian Cup in March 2025. His side would fail to progress to the knockout stage, due to goal difference, despite a 3–2 win over Japan in the final match.

Personal life Born in North Adelaide, Tatu attended Underdale High School and Sports College South Australia for his high school education, although much work was spent away from school due to football. He formed his playing style similar towards players he idolised, stating to have looked up to Elvis Kamsoba, Ousmane Dembélé, and Lionel Messi from his early childhood.
