Edmund Lalrindika (born 24 April 1999) is an Indian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Indian Super League club East Bengal and the Indian national football team.

Club career

Born in Lunglei, Mizoram, Lalrindika was announced as part of the Bengaluru reserve side for the 2017–18 season.[1] A month later, Lalrindika was selected to play for the Indian Arrows, an All India Football Federation-owned team that would consist of India under-20 players to give them playing time.[2] He made his professional debut for the side in the Arrow's first match of the season against Chennai City. He started and played 90 minutes as Indian Arrows won 3–0.[3]

Inter Kashi

On 2 September 2023, Bengaluru confirmed that Lalrindika would join newly formed club Inter Kashi on a 12-month loan until the end of the 2023–24 season.[4] On 28 October 2023, Inter Kashi played their first ever official match against Gokulam Kerala in the I-League. Lalrindika scored the club's first goal, in a 2–2 draw.[5]

On 26 March 2024, Lalrindika terminated his contract with Bengaluru and signed permanently with Inter Kashi, on a two-year deal. He made 22 league appearances for the club on loan, scoring 4 goals and delivered 8 assists.[6][7]

East Bengal

On 14 May 2025, Indian Super League outfit East Bengal roped in Lalrindika for an undisclosed transfer fee from Inter Kashi.[8][9]

On 17 May 2026, Lalrindika scored in the 85th minute of the title-deciding Kolkata Derby in Indian Super League thereby taking off his shirt with the match resulting in 1-1. He eventually got sent off after a second yellow card in the 90+8th minute.[10]

International career

Lalrindika represented the India under-20 side. He made his first debut for the senior national team also on 6 June 2024 in a match against Kuwait, where his aggressive approach game caught attention by many viewers.
