Kerala Blasters FC will host Mumbai City FC at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Kochi for an upcoming Indian Super League (ISL) match. The match was in doubt due to a disagreement with the Greater Cochin Development Authority (GCDA) over stadium rent. However, with the help of government officials, including the State’s Minister of Industries and Law and the President of GCDA, the issues were resolved.
Earlier, the GCDA had prevented the club from holding a pre-match press conference at the stadium citing unresolved financial matters. Thanks to the intervention of key figures like the Minister for Industries and Law and the Chairman of GCDA, Kerala Blasters FC overcame the obstacles and will proceed with the match as scheduled.
The club expressed gratitude towards the officials and supporters who contributed to the resolution. Kerala Blasters FC also extended thanks to various stakeholders, including AIFF officials, vendors, partners, and club staff, for their continued support.
Kerala Blasters FC, after a defeat in their opening game, are eager to secure their first points of the season in front of their home fans. Mumbai City FC, on the other hand, will aim to maintain their early-season form under Petr Krátký’s leadership.
