KBFC next match: When do Kerala Blasters FC play their next 2022 match?

Kerala Blasters FC have qualified for the knockout stages of the 2022 Durand Cup. The young KBFC side, led by head coach Tomasz Tchorz, will face Kolkata giants Mohammedan SC in the quarter-finals.

The two sides will clash at the Vivekananda Yuva Bharati Krirangan in Kolkata on Friday, September 9.

KBFC have been one of the most interesting sides to watch in the ongoing edition of the Durand Cup. They are among the four ISL teams who decided to field their reserves squad for the tournament.

The Yellow Tuskers were placed in Group D alongside fellow ISL outfits Odisha FC and NorthEast United FC. Sudeva Delhi FC and Army Green FT were the two other sides in this group.

Tchorz's young KBFC side managed to upset NorthEast United FC and the Army Green FT whilst picking up a point against Sudeva Delhi FC. The side came up short against Odisha FC, who were playing their first team.

Aritra Das, Muhammed Ajsal and Mohammed Aiman were highly effective in the final third for KBFC in the group phase. Tchorz can rely on these young stars to deliver when they take on the Black Panthers in Kolkata.
