Early career
Born in Hnahthial ([hnahˈthial]), Mizoram, Mafela (Lalrinfela Khiangte) joined Mohun Bagan Football Academy in 2015 after going through necessary trials conducted by the academy. After a year of staying in the academy, he looked for a seemingly better academy elsewhere hoping that further more improvements will come from such an academy. In 2017, he joined Bengaluru B and stayed there till his graduation. He had played for Bengaluru U18. He also participated in Subroto Cup, 2015 and B.C Roy Trophy as well as represented Mizoram in Santosh Trophy Qualifiers, 2021.
Aizawl
Before joining Aizawl in 2022, Mafela had played for other football clubs such as Ramakrishna Club and Swaraj FC. In July 2022, he signed a two-year professional contract with The People's Club and wore the number 10 Jersey for Aizawl. He made his professional debut for Aizawl against TRAU on 15 November, at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium in Aizawl. He played for 90 minutes in the first match of the 2022–23 I-League season and scored his debut professional goal at 48th minute and won the Hero of the Match Award. Besides having scored one goal, Mafela has registered two assists to his name in the current 2022 I League, one against Sreenidi Deccan FC and another one against Mumbai Kenkre FC.
He sustained an injury to his foot in a match against Mohammedan SC (Kolkata) on 13 January 2023 and therefore missed the next two away matches - one against Sudeva Delhi FC on 16 January 2023 and another one against NEROCA FC on 21 January 2023.

The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
