Singamayum Shami (born 18 April 2007) is a professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Indian Super League club Punjab.
Shami was a product of the Punjab FC youth system, joining the club's academy at age 12. [1] His senior team debut came in the Durand Cup against CISF Protectors FC, coming on as an 81st-minute substitute for Leon Augustine as Punjab won 3–0. [2]
Shami made his Indian Super League debut for Punjab on 25 September 2024 at home against Hyderabad FC, coming in as a late substitute for Filip Mrzljak in an eventual 2–0 win for the Shers. [3]
On 6 March 2025, Shami scored his first goal for Punjab FC, coincidentally away against Hyderabad FC, the team who he debuted against earlier in the season. After picking up a Petros Giakoumakis pass outside the box, he placed his shot into the net with his left foot. This goal gave him the record for being the youngest-ever ISL goal-scorer, at 17 years and 322 days. [4] [5] [6] This was Punjab's final goal of the match, as it eventually ended 3–1 to Punjab. [7] [8]
In April 2025, Shami was shortlisted for the probable squad of the India under-20 team that would play the 2025 SAFF U-19 Championship. [9] He was finally selected in the 25 member squad and he made his debut and scored a goal in a 8–0 victory against Sri Lanka under-20 team. [10] [11]
