TEAM NEWS
KBFC
The Blasters have reinforced their attack ahead of this season with the acquisition of ISL star Noah Sadaoui, and Spanish striker Jesus Jimenez Nunez. At the back, experienced French defender Alexandre Coeff has been brought in along with Likmabam Rakesh from Neroca FC.
With a new boss at the helm in the form of Mikael Stahre, KBFC will look to turn over a new leaf this season. Having faced PFC earlier in the Durand Cup which resulted in a stalemate, Mikael will use that knowledge to prepare the squad accordingly this time out.
PFC
#TheShers have undergone a massive overhaul starting with the appointment of Head Coach Panagiotis Dilmperis. PFC parted ways with five foreign players and several Indian players ahead of the new season.
A relatively stable season for the Punjab-based club saw them finish 8th in the 2023/24 season. In the Durand Cup, Dilmperis has handed out plenty of minutes to Indian youngsters like Nihal Sudeesh, Ashis Pradhan, Khaimingthang Lhungdim. Abhishek Singh and Nikhil Prabhu are also young but have already established themselves in the ISL last season and have continued to be key players for Punjab FC this season.
Meanwhile, Ravi Kumar looks set to be #TheShers main man between the sticks.
