Khaimingthang Lhungdim signs three-year contract extension with Punjab FC

Mohali, June 18, 2026: Punjab FC has signed a three-year extension with defender Khaimingthang Lhungdim before the 2026-27 season. Lhungdim has been a part of the Punjab FC setup since joining from NEROCA FC ahead of the I-League 2022-23 season. Having arrived during the club’s I-League (now known as the Indian Football League) campaign, the defender has been part of the club’s journey over the past four seasons. He was part of the historic I-League-winning side, which became the first team to gain promotion to the Indian Super League. Since joining the Shers, Lhungdim has made 85 appearances across all competitions, contributing one goal and seven assists. A versatile defensive presence, he has featured regularly for the club in domestic competitions and was among Punjab FC’s captains during the 2025-26 Indian Super League season.

The defender made 12 appearances in the ISL during the 2025-26 campaign, continuing to provide experience and leadership within the squad. Speaking on his contract extension, Khaimingthang Lhungdim said, “I just want to say that this feels like home. I have grown so much as a player and as a person during my four years here at Punjab FC. Some of the best moments of my life have come at this club—winning the I-League and making my ISL debut. I feel immense pride every time I wear this shirt. And still, I feel there is so much more to be done. Our best days lie ahead of us. That’s why I’m staying.” Having been part of the club’s progression from its I-League days to the Indian Super League, Khaimingthang will continue to bring experience and continuity to the squad as Punjab FC prepares for the upcoming seasons.
