#3 The record attendance speaks for itself
Ever since news started spreading about Kerala’s entry into the ISL, the fans were in ecstatic mood of having a side from their home-land plying it’s trade in the national footballing circuit. Kerala’s long wait for a team in the nation’s premier club competition came to life in front of more than 60,000 fans who turned up to cheer for the Blasters during their first home game.
The numbers have not dipped ever since and Kerala still hold the record for the highest average attendance in the ISL despite the stadium shortening its capacity to around 40,000 due to the regulations made by FIFA for the recently concluded U-17 World Cup.
Earlier this year, Kerala Blasters also became the first ISL franchise to reach 1 million followers on Twitter to further underline their strong presence online as well.
