Rovien Ostiana (born 14 February 2002) is an Aruban footballer who most recently played for Jong Volendam and the Aruba national team. With seven international goals, he is the current all-time top scorer for Aruba.[1]
As a youth, Ostiana played for SV SVV beginning in at least 2013.[2] For the 2020/2021 season, he joined English club Enfield Town of the Isthmian League Premier Division, suiting up for the under-19 team.[3] He returned to the Netherlands in 2021, signing for Kozakken Boys.[4] In July 2022, he moved to Jong Volendam of the Tweede Divisie. Team manager Kizito Musampa stated that Ostiana was his ideal image of a true number six.[5] Shortly after joining the club, he appeared in a 8–0 friendly victory over SV De Rijp.[6] He was joined on the Volendam roster by fellow Dutch Caribbean player Quincy Hoeve, a Bonaire international. In August 2023 the two players linked up in a league match against Koninklijke HFC.[7]
In July 2024, Ostiana went on trial with VV Smitshoek. Soon thereafter he debuted in a pre-season match against SteDoCo, but was played out of his natural position because of the absence of some squad members.[8] He then competed in a local derby match against BVV Barendrecht.[9] [10]
Ostiana made his senior international debut for Aruba on 11 September 2023 in a 2023–24 CONCACAF Nations League C match against the Cayman Islands.[11] He scored his first goal for the national team in the second minute of the eventual 2–1 victory.[12] [13] On the next matchday, Ostiana scored his second goal in two matches as Aruba defeated the United States Virgin Islands to remain undefeated and top its group.[14] [15] Following the matchday, he was named to the League C Best XI for his performance.[16]
