Blasters sign Rowllin Borges

Posted on by KBFC-Media-Manager

Kerala Blasters FC are pleased to announce the signing of Indian international midfielder Rowllin Borges on a short-term contract, keeping him at the club until the end of the 2025/26 season.

A composed and tactically astute presence in midfield, Borges arrives with a reputation built on consistency at the highest level of Indian football. Known for his positional intelligence, work rate, and ability to dictate tempo, the 32-year-old adds experience and control to the Blasters’ midfield unit at a crucial stage of the campaign.

Borges has been a proven performer in the Indian Super League, having achieved the coveted domestic double—winning both the ISL Shield and the ISL Cup during his career. His understanding of high-pressure environments and title-winning demands brings valuable perspective to the squad.

At the international level, Borges has represented India with distinction, earning caps for the senior national team and featuring in major international competitions. His exposure to the international game has further refined his discipline, tactical awareness, and ability to execute specific roles within structured systems.

Over the years, Borges has been trusted in multiple midfield roles—whether shielding the defence, maintaining balance in transition, or offering leadership through his game intelligence rather than overt expression. His profile aligns with a player who prioritises team structure, control, and reliability.

Abhik Chatterjee, CEO, Kerala Blasters FC said:

“Rowllin has always been a player we have liked for his attributes on the pitch, but more than all those qualities, he is a proper professional who has played at the highest level for club and country. His experience and influence will definitely benefit our younger players, who can learn a lot from him.”

Rowllin expressed his intent on arrival:

“It’s a privilege to join a club of this stature. I’m here to contribute, to compete every day, and to help the team this season. I’m motivated to settle in quickly and make an impact.”

Blasters Reserves qualify for RFDL Zonals

Posted on by KBFC-Media

The Blasters Reserves have booked their place in the Zonal Rounds of the Reliance Foundation Development League after navigating a competitive group-stage campaign with composure and character.

Drawn in a challenging group alongside Kovalam FC, Real Malabar FC, PFC Kerala, Kerala United FC, and SAI Kollam, the Blasters youngsters were tested across five matches that demanded consistency, resilience, and maturity beyond their years.

The campaign began in emphatic fashion as the Reserves opened with a commanding 5–0 victory over Kovalam FC, setting an early tone and underlining the attacking intent within the squad. While results in the following fixtures did not always go their way, the performances remained encouraging. Narrow defeats against Real Malabar FC (1–0) and PFC Kerala (2–1) were decided by fine margins, with the side continuing to compete with discipline and belief.

That resolve came to the fore in the latter stages of the group. A hard-fought 3–2 win against Kerala United FC proved pivotal, before the Blasters rounded off their group-stage journey with a confident 4–1 victory over SAI Kollam to seal qualification for the next phase of the competition.

Under the guidance of Amit Rana, Head of Youth Development, the Reserves demonstrated a strong collective mindset throughout the campaign. The focus remained firmly on development, game understanding, and executing the club’s playing principles, even in moments of adversity.

This qualification reflects the steady progress being made within Kerala Blasters FC’s youth system. The club continues to prioritise the long-term growth of young players, providing them with competitive environments that prepare them for the next step in their footballing journey.

As the Reserves move into the Zonal Rounds, the emphasis will remain unchanged: learn, compete, and continue building towards the future—one performance at a time.
