Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Kochi is the heart of Kerala’s sports culture. Initially constructed as a football stadium, it has played host to a number of international cricket and football matches. It is widely touted to be one of the most noisiest stadiums in the world due to its distinctive architecture.
With a capacity of 55,000, the Nehru stadium dons different roles for different sports. The stadium was the home of former I-League club Chirag United and Kerala Blasters FC. The club is owned by the great Indian batsman, Sachin Tendulkar, who is no stranger to this venue. A lot of his fans showed up for Kerala Blasters FC home games last term, to support their idol’s team in huge numbers.
Kerala Blasters FC suffered a heartbreaking 1-0 defeat to Atletico de Kolkata in last season’s ISL final. However, Tendulkar will be expecting his team to go all the way this season and the addition of new signings could help them push for the title once again.
