Siegfried Haltman (born December 26, 1941), known as Siki, is a retired Surinamese football player who played for S.V. Robinhood, América Futebol Clube (PE), Baltimore Bays, AZ'67 and for the Suriname national team during the span of his career. In 1964 he won the Surinamese Footballer of the Year award, becoming the first recipient of the award since its inception.
Having played in the youth ranks of S.V. Robinhood, Haltman made his debut in the Surinamese Hoofdklasse in 1963, playing with the likes of Armand Doesburg and Edwin Schal. In 1964 he led Robinhood to the national title, going undefeated all season. His performance earned him the first Surinamese Footballer of the Year award to be awarded that same year. The following two seasons saw Robinhood finishing as runners-up to crosstown rivals S.V. Transvaal. In 1966, Haltman relocated to Brazil to follow in the footsteps of one of his country and clubs most renown players Humphrey Mijnals.
In 1966, Haltman relocated to Recife, Brazil to play for América Futebol Clube (PE). This proved to be a controversial move as the Surinamese national team were eliminated from the qualification for the 1968 Summer Olympics for fielding Haltman in a match against Trinidad and Tobago. The TTFA had filed a complaint to FIFA following the match claiming Haltman was playing professionally in Brazil and was therefore ineligible to play, since he had previously been on the roster for a match against the Netherlands Antilles. Suriname were thus eliminated from the qualifiers based on these claims. Upon questioning, América themselves later reported that Haltman had not played in any official matches as the transfer fee of ƒ8,000 Surinamese guilders, set by the SVB had never been paid. Haltman then returned to his former club in Suriname SV Robinhood. Whether Haltman appeared in any official matches for América is disputed.
