Until recently, Muhammad Suhail's name was familiar only to those who followed Punjab FC closely. That changed dramatically in the 2023-24 season when the Shers clinched the Reliance Foundation Development League (RFDL) title, edging East Bengal 3-2 in the national championship final. Suhail, just 17 at the time, won the Golden Ball for best player of the tournament, an award that fast-tracked his promotion to the senior squad.
His senior debut came in the Durand Cup 2025, a tournament that remains close to his heart.
