Phurba Tempa Lachenpa Career

Born in Sikkim, Lachenpa began his career with the youth side of Shillong Lajong, where his tenacity earned him prompt graduation to the first team. A move to Real Kashmir followed in 2019, where Lachenpa was adjudged the best goalkeeper in the I-League, before arriving at Mumbai City FC in 2020. Lachenpa made his debut for the Islanders’ in incredible circumstances – the then 23-year-old came off the bench in the 2020-21 ISL semi-final penalty shootout against FC Goa, with his heroics helping Mumbai City reach their first-ever ISL Final.

In his debut season with the Islanders, Lachenpa won the ‘double’ and went on to cement his spot in the starting XI in the following season in the ISL and at the AFC Champions League. Lachenpa featured in 5 out of 6 games at Asia’s premier club competition, keeping two clean sheets and winning the Man of the Match on one occasion in Mumbai City’s historic Champions League campaign.

Now 25, Lachenpa stood out with sensational performances in goal in the 2022-23 season, playing a crucial role in the Islanders’ record-breaking ISL League win. In his 22 appearances in the ISL, he made 64 saves, conceded only on 23 occasions and maintained 7 clean sheets – the third highest across the league.

His stunning form caught the eye of Igor Stimac and the Indian National Team as Lachenpa received his maiden call-up for the Blue Tigers in March 2023 ahead of the Tri-Nation Tournament and is touted to have a bright future ahead for club and country.
