Career

Club

Tögöldör started playing football at age 10 with various local and provincial teams. He joined Erchim FC of the Mongolian Premier League in 2010.[3]

In late 2014, Tögöldör and fellow Mongolian Khürelbaataryn Tsend-Ayuush played for Yingcharoen F.C. of the Thailand Amateur League, the fifth level of football in the country, in the off-season in hopes of being spotted and signed by a professional club. Neither player was ultimately signed and Tögöldör returned to Erchim FC.[4]

In early January 2018 it was reported that Tögöldör and two other Mongolian players were being eyed by the Uzbekistan Football Federation in hopes of signing them to Uzbek League clubs.[5]

Prior to the 2020 season, Tögöldör signed for SP Falcons, also of the Mongolian Premier League, along with Tsend-Ayuush Khürelbaatar and Tserendovdon Tumur-Ochir. He scored his first goal for the club in the opening match of the season, the eventual game-winner in the 1–0 victory over Deren FC. The goal was also the overall first goal scored by any team in 2020.[6]

International

Tögöldör played his first international game with the senior national team on 6 March 2013 in and against Sri Lanka (3–0), after he came on as a substitute for Amgalangiin Chinzorig in the 60th minute of that game.[7]
