Club career

Sandy played at Sampdoria's primavera (youth) team with Kurniawan Dwi Yulianto and Bima Sakti; unlike his teammates, Kurnia succeeded to break into the first team and became the fourth-choice goalkeeper for one season under coach Sven-Göran Eriksson.[2] At one time when Sampdoria's first-choice goalkeeper Fabrizio Ferron was red-carded, Sampdoria attempted to promote Sandy into the first team as a backup for Matteo Sereni, but apparently, his management had yet to process Sandy's permit-related papers. Thus Sampdoria's entry was denied by the FIGC.

International career

Sandy made a memorable performance during 1996 Asian Cup, where he denied at least six clear chance during the game against Kuwait, before rough contact against a Kuwaiti player injured him; the game eventually ended 2–2. Sandy's injury forced him to sit out the rest of the tournament. Due to second-choice goalkeeper Hendro Kartiko's fine performances, and Sandy's apparent dip in performance in the local league after his injury, Sandy lost the spot as first-choice goalkeeper for the national team.
