Afc champions league qualifying round

AFC Champions League Qualifying Round: Punjab FC have significantly bolstered its goalkeeping ranks by announcing the signing of Indian shot-stopper Arshdeep Singh. The 28-year-old Mahilpur native joins on a one-year contract, arriving from Indian Super League (ISL) club Hyderabad FC ahead of the team’s highly anticipated AIFF Super Cup 2025 opener against Gokulam Kerala FC on October 27.

Arshdeep's career is deeply rooted in the region. He began his development in the AIFF Elite Academy before making his professional breakthrough with Minerva Punjab.

Promoted to the senior side for the 2016-17 season, he was a key part of the historic I-League winning squad in 2017-18. His tenure with Minerva also included crucial appearances in both the AFC Champions League Qualifying Round and the AFC Cup, giving him valuable continental experience early in his career.
