Thongkosiem Haokip (born 13 March 1993), commonly known as Semboi Haokip, is an Indian professional footballer who plays as a forward for East Bengal in the I-League on loan from Kerala Blasters in the Indian Super League.
Born in the village of Gangpijang in Manipur, Haokip began playing football for his state side at the youth levels in the national school games. He then joined local side United Sports Association in Khurai. He stayed with the side until he was spotted by Pune. He joined the Pune F.C. Academy in 2011 and played for the side in the I-League U20 and other tournaments. While part of the academy set-up at Pune, Haokip helped his side to two back-to-back I-League U20 titles in both 2012 and 2013.
Before the start of the 2013–14 I-League season, it was announced that Haokip would be promoted to the Pune first-team. He made his professional debut for the club on 29 September 2013, appearing as a late-match substitute during a 0–0 draw against Shillong Lajong. Then, in the very next match, against Mohun Bagan, Haokip scored his first professional goal. His 72nd-minute goal opened the scoring for Pune as the club went on to win 2–0. His goal made him only the second ever Pune Academy player to score for the senior team after Nikhil Kadam. After scoring, Haokip gave credit to the Pune head coach, Mike Snoei, for motivating him: "The coach simply says; ‘play aggressively, be strong and be confident in what I do when out on the field. He also told me ‘don’t worry’. I am a learner."
