Persipura Jayapura

Osvaldo Haay in 2016 at the age of 18 earned a spot in Persipura Jayapura's senior team that competed in the Indonesia Soccer Championship A. Starting in a match against Arema Cronus, Haay scored his first goal in a professional game on 24 October 2016.

Persebaya Surabaya

As a rising star, Haay received offers from several clubs for the 2018 Liga 1 competition. He chose to play for Persebaya in the East Java provincial capital of Surabaya where he made 41 league appearances and scored 16 goals in two consecutive seasons.

Persija Jakarta

Haay in 2020 signed a contract with affluent Liga 1 club Persija Jakarta for the 2020 Liga 1 season that only lasted for three matches due to the COVID-19 pandemic. He stayed with Persija for the 2021 Menpora Cup, a prelude tournament for Liga 1 teams ahead of the 2021 season. Persija won that tournament with Haay scoring a goal and delivering an assist in the final match.

International career

Haay made his international senior debut for Indonesia on 21 March 2017, against Myanmar, where he came as a substitute. He scored his debut goal on 4 December 2017, against Mongolia. Haay was part of the Indonesia under-23 national team that won silver in the 2019 Southeast Asian Games in the Philippines, in which he was the top goalscorer with eight goals.

Personal life

Haay's mother, Buanitawati, is a Javanese from the East Java region of Banyuwangi while his father, Edison Haay, is a Kayupulau from Papua, where the family resides. Haay was raised in Jayapura, but he understands some Javanese language from his mother that became handy when the footballer played in Surabaya, East Java's capital.

Haay is married to Shella Pricilia. The couple had their wedding on 27 February 2021.
