The 2024–25 season is the eleventh season in Kerala Blasters FC's existence, as well as their eleventh season in the Indian Super League.[1]

Following the conclusion of the 2023–24 season, the Blasters started preparations for the new season right-away as just one week after their elimination from the 2023–24 league playoffs, the Blasters announced the departure of their head coach Ivan Vukomanović, who left the club as the most successful head coach in the history of the club, after his three years at the club.[2] Vukomanović was replaced by the Swedish manager Mikael Stahre, who joined the club on a two-year contract in May 2024.[3] The Blasters also bid farewell to their all-time top-scorer and the golden-boot winner, Dimitrios Diamantakos, who left the club in May for a new contract in East Bengal FC.[4] In the following days, the club would announce the departures of more of their foreign players from the previous season as the likes of Daisuke Sakai, Marko Lešković (who signed in the 2021–22 campaign), and Fedor Černych were released from the club following the end of their contracts.[5] Amidst their Thailand tour ahead of the new season, the club's then longest-serving player at that time, Jeakson Singh was sold to East Bengal for a reported transfer fee of ₹3.2 crores (US$382,300) plus add-ons,[6] with the Blasters receiving the highest transfer fee ever for an Indian player in the nation's football history.[7] [8]

Following their Thailand tour during the pre-season, the Blasters began their 2024–25 campaign with an 8–0 win over Mumbai City FC in the 2024 Durand Cup in their first competitive match of the season. This victory broke the club record for the biggest win in the Blasters' history and tied the record for the biggest win in the tournament's history, matching the score of the 1889 Durand Cup final.[9]

Background

After a rather disappointing 2023–24 season, the Kerala Blasters' quest for their first ever silverware led them to 2024–25 season.[10] The Blasters' 2023–24 season was marked by a roller-coaster journey consisting of injuries and suspensions.[11] Ahead the 2023–24 campaign, the Blasters ended their six-year association with their then-most-capped player at the time, Sahal Abdul Samad, who was involved in a swap-deal with Mohun Bagan Super Giant for the transfer of Pritam Kotal; with the Blasters receiving a reported transfer fee of ₹90 lakhs (US$108,000).[12] The club went to the United Arab Emirates for their final pre-season camp ahead of the league season.[13] The Blasters began their 2023–24 season with the 2023 Durand Cup, in which they were knocked-out of the tournament after finishing third in the group of four.[14] Following the end of his ten-match ban, the then manager of the Blasters, Ivan Vukomanović, returned to the dugout on 27 October 2023 in the match against Odisha FC.[15] The Blasters had a satisfactory end to the first half of the league, as by the winter-breaks in December, the Blasters reigned at the top of the table, spending 45 days at the spot.[16] During the international breaks in January 2024, the Blasters took part in the 2024 Indian Super Cup, but was disqualified from the tournament for yet again finishing third in the group table.[17] [18] Coming into the second-phase of the league, an injury plagued Blasters' side coupled with dozens of suspensions, lost their winning momentum, as they ended the regular season fifth on the table.[19] However, the Blasters qualified for the league playoffs for a third consecutive time, meeting Odisha FC in Kalinga Stadium on 19 April 2024, who put an end to the Blasters' season, as the Blasters lost the match two goals to one, thus ending a yet another season without a trophy.[20]

Season overview

2024

August

On 1 August, the Blasters played their first competitive match of the season in the Durand Cup against Mumbai City FC, which they won with a record-breaking score of 0–8.[104] Mumbai City's defence was under relentless attack from early on in the match, and the Blasters' Noah Sadaoui had one goal disallowed for an offside in the first-half of the game. However, Noah would find the net just one minute later, scoring his debut goal for the club and opening the scoresheet for the Blasters.[105] In the 39th minute, Kwame Peprah would double the lead for the Blasters, and would subsequently complete a brace just five minutes later following a rebounded ball from Noah in front of the opposition net.[106] Blasters were leading three-nil while coming into the second-half. Noah would score his second of the night in the 50th minute with a header from a Mohammed Aimen's cross from the wing.[107] Just two minute after Noah's brace, Peprah would complete his hat-trick to score the fifth goal of the night for the Blasters.[108] This was not the only hat-trick by a Blasters' player in the match, as Noah would also score his third of the night with a 76th minute goal, thereby completing his hat-trick in his debut match for the club.[109] Ishan Pandita was subbed in for the hat-trick hero Kwame Peprah. Pandita would score his debut goal for the Blasters in the 86th minute, and would complete a brace just one minute later to further stretch the scoreline.[110] The match ended 8–0 to the Blasters following Pandita's brace. This match broke several records as it became the highest-win ever in the history of the Blasters, and would also become the joint-biggest win in the Durand Cup history by sharing the record with the 1889 Durand Cup final between Highland Light Infantry and Shimla Rifles, which also ended 8–0 at full-time.[111]

On 4 August, the Blasters played their second group stage match in the Durand Cup against Punjab FC, which ended in a 1–1 draw.[112] Both the sides started with their main-eleven with Punjab taking the lead through Luka Majcen, who scored by overcoming an offside trap set by the Blasters defence just before the half-time in the added time.[113] Aimen, who came in as a substitute for Yoihenba Meitei ahead of the second-half scored the equalizer for the Blasters from a Peprah's cutting pass across goal in the 56th minute,[114] as the latter made no mistake and tapped the ball into the goal to seal the draw for the Blasters as the match ended in a 1–1 draw in the Salt Lake Stadium.[115]

On 10 August, the Blasters officially announced Reyaur Sports as their kitting and merchandise partner for the upcoming season.[116]

On 10 August, the Blasters would play their last group stage match of the Durand Cup against CISF Protectors FT, which they won 7–0.[117] The Blasters were quick to attack as they netted an early goal through a header from Peprah in the 6th minute of the game.[118] Within just two minutes, Noah would double the lead for the 'Yellow Army' with a half-volleyed goal.[119] The Blasters' third goal of the night came from Aimen, who slotted the ball into the bottom left corner of the net in the 16th minute.[120] It did not take so long for the Blasters to score their fourth of the night as Noah would complete his brace just four minutes after Aimen tripled the lead. The goal-scoring spree continued for the Blasters, as both Naocha Singh and Mohammed Azhar (the twin brother of third goal-scorer, Aimen) would score their debut goals for the club in the 25th and 44th minutes respectively as the Blasters led by six goals to nil by the end of the first-half.[121] The Blasters continued their relentless attack into the opposition defence but were not entirely able to capitalize on the goal-scoring chances in the later-half. In the 88th minute, Bryce Miranda was brought down in the penalty-box by a CISF defender, and the match referee Crystal John would award the Blasters with a penalty. However, Noah Sadaoui would chip the ball above the crossbar. Noah was quick to redeem himself, as just one minute after his missed penalty, he would score from an open-play and would subsequently complete his second hat-trick of the 2024 Durand Cup.[122] Noah's hat-trick was the final blow to the opposition as the Blasters defeated the CISF Protectors by a 7–0 scoreline, thus solidifying their spot at the top of the group table.[123]

Following the 3–0 win of Punjab against Mumbai City on 11 August, the Blasters qualified for the quarter-finals of the Durand Cup for the second time in their history due their +15 goal-difference, despite having the same points as Punjab in the group table.[124]

Pre-season and friendlies

In early June 2024, it was reported that the Blasters would travel to Thailand in the first-week of July for a two-week season camp in the country ahead of the Durand Cup.[170] The Blasters announced their first pre-season friendly on their Thailand tour on 11 July on the matchday against Thai club Pattaya United F.C., which ended in a 2–1 defeat for the Blasters.[172] They played the Thai club Samut Prakan City F.C. next on 17 July which they won 1–3 at full-time, winning their first match of the pre-season friendlies.[173] The Blasters met the Thai League 1 club Ratchaburi F.C. next in their Thailand tour, with the Blasters winning the match by the tally of 1–4.[174] Following the Ratchaburi game, Thai League 3 club Maraleina F.C. announced in Facebook that they would be playing the Blasters on 26 July.[175] However, neither sides announced the scores of the friendly match. Later on, the Blasters' assistant coach Björn Wesström would confirm via an Instagram post that the team had indeed played a fourth friendly match in Thailand before returning to India for the Durand Cup tournament.[176]
