Mumbai City FC’s Lalengmawia Ralte is all set for two-week training stint in Belgium, the club revealed on Saturday. The youngster will get the opportunity to train with Belgian side Lommel SK. The 21-year-old will get the exposure of playing with some high-profile players and he will look to make the most of his chance to grow in stature and confidence.
Lalengmawia will look to gain as much as he can by playing under the tutelage of experienced coaches during his 14 days stay at the club.
“Through our association with City Football Group, we knew it would open a pathway for players and coaches to have access to the Group’s collective resources and it brings me great pleasure to be able to see Apuia get the benefits of the technical expertise and know-how of our friends at Lommel SK,” Kandarp Chandra, CEO, Mumbai City FC said.
“This is an indication that talent at Mumbai City FC will be furthered and nurtured within the Group and this can potentially open doors for others to gain a similar experience too. I want to thank our colleagues at Lommel and CFG for facilitating this training stint and we wish Apuia the very best for his time in Belgium,” he added.
Ralte has come up in the rank in the Hero Indian Super League. Before making a move to the Islanders, Ralte plied his trade for NorthEast United FC in the ISL. Despite being only 21-year-old, the youngster has played 52 matches in the tournament, which goes to show the kind of talent he has under his tank.
Furthermore, the Mizoram player has made 10 appearances for the Blue Tigers and he will hold the key for the national team under the coaching of Igor Stimac.
Ralte will look to deliver his best for Mumbai City FC in the upcoming season and play a key role for Des Buckingham’s side.
