Nyam-Osoryn Naranbold (Mongolian: Ням-Осорын Наранболд; born 22 February 1992) is a Mongolian footballer who plays as a forward for Mongolian Premier League club Khoromkhon and the Mongolian national team.[2] With nine international goals, he is the all-time top scorer for Mongolia.[3]
Naranbold began playing for Khoromkhon of the Mongolian Premier League in 2008.[4] [5] He made appearances in the club's two matches during the qualifying rounds of the 2016 AFC Cup, a 0–2 defeat to K-Electric of Pakistan and a 0–0 draw with Druk United of Bhutan. Khoromkhon failed to progress to the next round.[6] With Khoromkhon, he won the league championship in 2014 and was runner-up in 2008 and 2012. For the 2015 season he was the league's top goal scorer with 23 goals.[7]
Naranbold won the award again two seasons later with 17 goals after transferring to Athletic 220 prior to the 2017 Mongolian Premier League season.[8] He scored both of the team’s goals in the final of the 2018 Mongolia Cup as Athletic 220 defeated Ulaanbaatar City 2–0 to win the title.[9] He went on to help the club win back-to-back league championships in 2020 and 2021. Following the 2020 season he received the award for Best Goal and Best Male Player.[10] Naranbold went on to score the club's only goal in the 2021 AFC Cup, coming in a 1–5 loss to Hong Kong's Lee Man.[11]
In January 2022, Naranbold left Athletic 220 and became a free agent. On 3 March of that year he joined newly-promoted Tuv Buganuud.[12] He finished the 2021–22 season with fourteen goals, tying him with Deren's Pavel Zakharov for second in the league.[13]
After a single season, Naranbold left the club and signed for Khovd.[14]
Naranbold made his Mongolia national team debut on 23 July 2014 in a 0–2 lost to Guam in the first round of the 2015 EAFF East Asian Cup.[5] He scored his first senior international goal on 4 July 2016 in an 8–0 victory over the Northern Mariana Islands.[7] The win set Mongolia's record for their largest margin of victory.[15] He went on to score both of Mongolia's goals in a 2–0 victory over Sri Lanka during the 2016 AFC Solidarity Cup, the inaugural edition of the tournament.[16]
On 11 June 2024 in a match against Cambodia, Naranbold scored his ninth senior international goal to become Mongolia's all-time top scorer, surpassing Donorovyn Lümbengarav's previous record of eight. The goals helped Mongolia snap an eight-match goalless streak and nine-match winless streak.[17]
