ISLW

Bio

Mizoram-born Lalengmawia, fondly known as Apuia, started playing football from a very young age. In 2017, he became the only player from his state to make it to India's squad for the FIFA U-17 World Cup. He made 11 appearances for Indian Arrows in Hero I-League 2018-19 and also scored a goal. The Hero ISL 2019-20 season saw him turn up in the NorthEast United FC jersey and he did'nt take long to establish himself as a starter, commanding a strong passing accuracy of 80.45% in 10 matches. Retained for the 2020-21 Hero ISL, Lalengmawia's stock rose further as he went on to win the Emerging-Player-of-the-Season award. However, in a surprise move, he joined defending champions Mumbai City FC ahead of the 2021-22 season.
