Club Career

Aizawl FC

Born in Aizawl, Mizoram. Hmingthanmawia started playing football at the age of 8. After representing Mizoram in sub juniors, Hmingthanmawia was selected by Aizawl FC junior team. He was the main defender for junior team for two seasons. In September 2017, Hmingthanmawia was promoted to Aizawl F.C. senior team for Mizoram Premier League and I-League.[ citation needed ]

Mumbai City FC

Early years

On 10 June 2019, Hmingthanmawia signed for ISL club Mumbai City FC on a two-year contract. [1] He made four ISL appearances in his debut season, as Mumbai finished fifth. Despite not playing a single game in the ISL in the club's 2020-21 double-winning season, Hmingthanmawia signed a fresh four-year contract until 2025. [2]

Loan spell at Punjab FC

On August 10 2022, Mumbai City FC announced that Hmingthanmawia would go on loan to I-League club Roundglass Punjab (now Punjab FC). [3] In the I-League, he played regularly and shone, even scoring his first senior goal while at the club. His loan spell ended with him having made 15 appearances in the club's successful 2022–23 I-League season, as Punjab became the first ever club to get promoted into the ISL. [4]

Return to Mumbai City FC

Following his loan spell, he was kept at the club by manager Des Buckingham. He made his Mumbai debut in the Durand Cup, playing the full 90 minutes in Mumbai's 5-0 defeat of Jamshedpur FC. [5] He also made his AFC Champions debut, playing in an all-Indian line-up away against F.C. Nassaji Mazandaran, due to visa issues for the club's foreign players preventing them from travelling to Iran. [6] However, Hmingthanmawia never made a league appearance under Buckingham, and was regularly left on the bench.

Although, when Buckingham left to go to EFL League One side Oxford United, Mumbai appointed Petr Kratky as their new head coach, [7] Hmingthanmawia was given a chance in the first team. In Kratky's third match against Mohun Bagan, following an early red card for Akash Mishra, Hminghthanmawia was substituted onto the pitch in the 17th minute, [8] playing until the 68th minute when he was substituted back off for winger Vikram Partap Singh. Due to a suspension to regular right-back Rahul Bheke at the end of the match, Kratky trusted Hmingthanmawia to start the two games Bheke was banned for. They were away versus Kerala Blasters, which ended in a 2-0 loss, [9] and at home in a 3-0 win over Chennaiyin FC. [10]

With the season breaking for the 2023 AFC Asian Cup, and the Kalinga Super Cup being played at the same time, players called up for the Indian national team for the Asian Cup could not play for their clubs in the Super Cup. With Bheke called up for India, [11] the Super Cup presented a chance to Hmingthanmawia for regular game time, which he was given by Kratky. He started all 3 group stage games for The Islanders. Despite having thought he scored his first goal for the club versus Gokulam Kerala FC, the referee controversially ruled it out. [12] He scored his first goal for the club against Chennaiyin FC, with a towering header from a Yoell van Nieff free kick. This goal was crucial, as it was the winning goal that ensured Mumbai's passage to the Super Cup semi-final ahead of the aforementioned Chennaiyin. [13] He played in the semi-final of the tournament Mumbai lost to Odisha FC, thanks to a 42nd minute penalty from ex-Mumbai forward Diego Maurício. [14]
