Club career

Futsal

As a youth Oyunbold played futsal for Mongoliin Temuulel FC. In 2020 he was the league's top scorer with seventy-three goals en route to winning the Best Male Player Award at the Mongolian Football Federation's annual Golden Ball Ceremony.[1] His seventy-three goal total included a league-record twenty goals in a single match.[2][3]

Football

In 2019, Oyunbold played for Mongoliin Temuulel FC during the inaugural Mongolia Second League season. The club finished third in the table as Oyunbold was tied for second-best scorer in the league with seven goals.[4]

In July following the 2019 season, he joined the academy of SP Falcons of the Mongolian Premier League on a one-year loan.[5] In March 2021, halfway through the 2021 Premier League season, Oyunbold returned to SP Falcons and signed for the first team on a five-year deal.[6] During his first partial top-flight season, he scored four goals and tallied four assists.[7]

In September 2022, he left SP Falcons and joined Hong Kong Premier League club Sham Shui Po.[8] By doing so, he became the first-ever Mongolian player to sign for a club in Hong Kong.[7][9] He made his league debut for the club on 18 September 2022 as a second-half substitute against Kitchee.[10]

International career

Oyunbold was part of Mongolia's squad that competed in 2020 AFC U-19 Championship qualification. In the final match of the group stage he scored two goals in a 4–3 victory over Guam.[11] He was called up to the youth squad again in October 2021 as Mongolia hosted its group in 2022 AFC U-23 Asian Cup qualification. He scored in his nation's 2–3 loss to Laos to close out Mongolia's campaign.[12][13]

He made his senior international debut on 23 March 2022 in a friendly against Laos. He went on to make his competitive debut on 14 June 2022 in a 2–0 2023 AFC Asian Cup qualification victory over Yemen.[14]
