Kerala Blasters FC has officially confirmed that Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Kochi will remain the club’s home ground for the upcoming Indian Super League (ISL) 2025-26 season, according to an official club release.
In a statement shared on 10 February 2026, the club highlighted its deep connection with its passionate fanbase — known as the Yellow Army — and said the vibrant atmosphere at the Kochi stadium has played a key role in making it one of India’s most electric football venues. The decision to retain Nehru Stadium as the home venue is part of the club’s ongoing commitment to supporters, partners, and the wider football community across Kerala.
“The Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium has been the stage for countless memorable moments in the club’s journey, and the team looks forward to creating many more in front of the Yellow Army this season,” the club added.
Alongside the venue announcement, Kerala Blasters have also announced the signing of Indian midfielder Rowllin Borges ahead of the ISL campaign. The 31-year-old midfielder brings valuable league experience, tactical discipline, and composure to the Blasters’ midfield, with CEO Abhik Chatterjee praising his professionalism and leadership qualities.
The ISL 2025-26 season is scheduled to kick off on 14 February 2026, with Kerala Blasters beginning their campaign against Mohun Bagan Super Giant at Kolkata’s Salt Lake Stadium.
Retaining Nehru Stadium underscores the club’s intention to build on past seasons and maintain a strong home presence, even as Indian football navigates broader scheduling and logistical challenges ahead of the new campaign.
