Ronny Pasla (15 April 1947 – 24 November 2025) was an Indonesian footballer who played as a goalkeeper. He represented the Indonesia national team from 1967 to 1979.
Pasla is regarded as one of the finest goalkeepers in Indonesia's history. He served as the primary goalkeeper for the national team during the 1970s, succeeding his predecessor, Judo Hadianto. Throughout his tenure with the national team, he contributed to Indonesia's victories in the 1968 King's Cup, 1969 Merdeka Tournament, 1972 Jakarta Anniversary Tournament, and 1972 Pesta Sukan Cup.
Before moving to Persija Jakarta in the latter part of his career, Pasla played for PSMS Medan and helped the team to win the Aga Khan Gold Cup in 1967.
Early life

However, this event was ultimately canceled following the outbreak of the 30 September Movement. Subsequently, Pasla achieved victory in the 1967 National Junior Tennis Championship in Malang, East Java.[3]
