Dede Sulaeman (8 May 1956 – 25 January 2026) was an Indonesian footballer who played as a striker for Persija Jakarta and Indonesia national team in the 1970s to 1980s. He was part of the national team when Indonesia almost qualified for the 1986 World Cup in Mexico before being defeated by South Korea. Dede was known for his agility and sharpness in the opponent's penalty box. He was the top scorer for Galatama in the 1982–83 competition season with 17 goals. Dede retired at the age of 30 after he chose to work at Pertamina.[1]
Throughout his career, Dede only played for two clubs, Persija Jakarta in Perserikatan and Indonesia Muda in Galatama. Alongside Persija, Dede led the under-18 team to win the 1974 Soeratin Cup and the senior team to win the league title in 1979. Dede then moved to Indonesia Muda which was fostered by Pertamina until he retired in 1985.[2]
