2024–25 Kerala Blasters FC Season

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.

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. Vukomanović was replaced by the Swedish manager Mikael Stahre, who joined the club on a two-year contract in May 2024. 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. 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. 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, with the Blasters receiving the highest transfer fee ever for an Indian player in the nation's football history.

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.

Background

After a rather disappointing 2023–24 season, the Kerala Blasters' quest for their first ever silverware led them to 2024–25 season. The Blasters' 2023–24 season was marked by a roller-coaster journey consisting of injuries and suspensions. 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). The club went to the United Arab Emirates for their final pre-season camp ahead of the league season. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.

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. 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.
