2024–25 Kerala Blasters FC season
11th season in existence of Kerala Blasters FC
The 2024–25 season was the eleventh season in Kerala Blasters'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 after his three years at the club as the most successful head coach in the history of 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 with 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 season), 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 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. After going unbeaten in the next two group stage matches, the Blasters qualified for the quarter-finals, and met their rivals Bengaluru FC in the fixture, which they lost 1–0 resulting in their elimination from the tournament.
