Pakistan international midfielder Alamgir Ghazi made a dream start to life at Thimphu City FC, delivering a Man of the Match performance on his debut as his side cruised to a convincing 3-0 victory over Tsirang FC in the Bhutan Premier League.
The 23-year-old joined the Bhutanese giants earlier this month, becoming one of the few Pakistani footballers currently plying their trade in South Asia’s growing leagues. His move, finalized in April 2025, came after months of speculation about his next step in club football. With limited opportunities at home due to Pakistan’s struggling domestic football system, Ghazi took a bold step abroad—and it’s already paying off.
Alamgir, a promising figure in Pakistan’s national team setup, has steadily built his reputation since making his international debut. Known for his composure in midfield, intelligent distribution, and tireless work ethic, he played a key role in Pakistan’s recent campaigns, including their performances in the SAFF Championship and World Cup Qualifiers. His ability to anchor the midfield and link up defense with attack has made him a vital asset in a team desperate for consistency.

In his debut for Thimphu City, Ghazi demonstrated exactly why he’s held in such high regard. Dictating the pace of the game from the center of the pitch, he was instrumental in both breaking up opposition play and launching forward attacks. His pinpoint passing and mature positioning helped Thimphu dominate possession, while his energy ensured Tsirang FC never gained a foothold. The performance earned him the official Man of the Match recognition—a powerful statement from the young Pakistani on foreign soil.
For Ghazi, this match represents more than just a strong debut. It marks a significant milestone in his career: a fresh chapter in a professional environment where he can grow, compete, and potentially attract attention from even bigger leagues. It also sends a message back home about the untapped potential of Pakistani footballers, who often lack the platform to showcase their talent.
As Thimphu City FC continues its campaign, all eyes will now be on Alamgir Ghazi—not just in Bhutan, but across the South Asian footballing community—as he seeks to inspire both his new club and a generation of Pakistani footballers dreaming of international careers.
