From Palakkad to Mohali: How Muhammad Suhail joined Punjab FC

Kokrajhar, Aug 13(UNI) Muhammad Suhail was not a name many were aware of other than those who follow Punjab FC. All that changed in the 2023-24 season, when the Shers were crowned the Reliance Foundation Development League (RFDL) champions beating East Bengal 3-2 in the national championship finals. Suhail received the Golden Ball award for the best player of the tournament as a 17-year-old and it speded up his transition into the senior side.
That incidentally happened in the Durand Cup 2025, which is why he holds it so special, before he went on to become one of the most attacking Shers for the rest of the season.
“The Durand Cup is where I played senior level football for the first time and it was a totally different experience for me. I understood where I was as a player and what I needed to do to consistently to play at this level,” said a very shy Suhail, who until then had played only in the junior level and leagues for Punjab FC.
