The 28-year-old hailing from Haryana, Sangwan\u2019s football journey began in the Minerva Punjab Academy, where his talent quickly shone through. After breaking into their first team in 2015-16, he made an immediate impact by helping Minerva Punjab secure promotion to the I-League.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
His career trajectory then continued upward as he scored his first professional goal in the 2017-18 season, a crucial strike that propelled Minerva Punjab to the top of the league standings and ultimately to their maiden I-League title.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Sangwan\u2019s time with Minerva also included notable performances in the AFC Cup, where he registered a memorable assist against Chennaiyin FC. Subsequent stints with Churchill Brothers and Roundglass Punjab further honed his skills, accumulating 59 I-League appearances, one goal, and three assists before making his Indian Super League debut with Chennaiyin FC in 2022.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI am excited to start this new chapter with FC Goa. The club\u2019s ambitions and style of play resonate with me, and I am eager to contribute to the team\u2019s success.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI\u2019ve always admired the footballing culture and the history of the sport in this state, and can\u2019t wait to play in front of FC Goa\u2019s passionate fan base at the Fatorda Stadium. I look forward to giving my best and achieving great things together with the team,\u201d said Aakash Sangwan on his move to the Gaurs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Over two seasons with the Marina Machans, the defender featured in 48 matches across all competitions, scoring twice and assisting on 10 occasions. His remarkable \u2018Olimpico\u2019 goal against NorthEast United last season was instrumental in Chennaiyin FC\u2019s return to the ISL Cup playoffs after a four-year hiatus.<\/p>\r\n\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2024\/06\/fc-goa-sign-defender-aakash-sangwan-on-multi-year-contract.png", "alt_img": "FC Goa sign defender Aakash Sangwan on multi-year contract", "alt_title": "FC Goa sign defender Aakash Sangwan on multi-year contract", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "FC Goa Sign Defender Aakash Sangwan On Multi-year Contract On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "FC Goa Sign Defender Aakash Sangwan On Multi-year Contract, Minerva Punjab Academy: FC Goa announced the signing of versatile left-back Aakash Sangwan on a multi-year deal for the upcoming.", "seo_keywords": "FC Goa, Aakash Sangwan, Minerva Punjab Academy, Minerva Punjab, AFC Cup, Chennaiyin FC, Churchill Brothers, Roundglass Punjab, Indian Super League, Fatorda Stadium, Marina Machans, NorthEast United, ISL Cup", "tag": "", "tagging": "FC Goa, Aakash Sangwan, Minerva Punjab Academy, Minerva Punjab, AFC Cup, Chennaiyin FC, Churchill Brothers, Roundglass Punjab, Indian Super League, Fatorda Stadium, Marina Machans, NorthEast United, ISL Cup", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "fc-goa-sign-defender-aakash-sangwan-on-multi-year-contract", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "925", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "0", "created": "2024-06-09 18:18:03", "updated": "2024-06-09 18:18:03", "img_from": "Image Source: IANS", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "FC Goa, Aakash Sangwan, Minerva Punjab Academy, Minerva Punjab, AFC Cup, Chennaiyin FC, Churchill Brothers, Roundglass Punjab, Indian Super League, Fatorda Stadium, Marina Machans, NorthEast United, ISL Cup", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "1", "google_feed": "1", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "23", "jio_date": "2024-06-09 18:18:03", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "0", "breaking_news": "0", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "sports_name": "football", "cnmid": "913929", "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/sports-news\/fc-goa-sign-defender-aakash-sangwan-on-multi-year-contract-15840" }
