Sayam’s selection is a proud milestone not only for Triumph Football Club but for the entire football fraternity of Himachal Pradesh. His outstanding performance in the Futsal National Club Championship-2025 impressed national selectors, as he netted three goals and provided five assists, displaying attacking flair, sharp footwork and excellent court vision. These consistent contributions were instrumental in his team’s performance and paved his way into the national camp.

An experienced athlete, Sayam has earlier represented Himachal Pradesh in major football tournaments, including the 2017 Oorja Cup, 2018 BC Roy Trophy and the 2022 Santosh Trophy, making him one of the most accomplished players to emerge from the state.
