Kerala Blasters on Tuesday confirmed the acquisition of blistering winger Noah Sadaoui on a two-year contract, further bolstering their attack. Signing one of the standout players in the Indian Super League (ISL) was enough to garner ample excitement, and the announcement video only amplified it.
The two-minute-fifty-two-second video, made by the in-house club media team, depicted the tale of a teen Blasters fan who grew impatient waiting for Sadaoui's official announcement. Seeing him downcast, his father decided to reach out to the Moroccan forward on social media. That's when the 30-year-old decided to drop in a video message for the kid, announcing his arrival.

"The energy and support from the KBFC fans is simply incredible" - Noah Sadaoui on joining Kerala Blasters
After joining the club, Noah Sadaoui shared his delight of signing with the Blasters in a club statement. The 30-year-old praised the club for its incredible fanbase and expressed his eagerness to ply his trade in front of them.
“I am really excited to join Kerala Blasters and be part of such a passionate club. The energy and support from the KBFC fans is simply incredible, and I cannot wait to play in front of them," the winger underlined.
Sadaoui landed on Indian shores in 2022, when he signed for ISL heavyweights FC Goa. After two seasons, with 54 ISL appearances, he has scored 29 goals and provided 16 assists. Steadily, the Moroccan evolved into one of the most exciting players in the league.
Now, he yearns to contribute with similar intensity to the Blasters and lead the club to their maiden glory in the ISL.
"I’m looking forward to contributing to the club’s success and being part of this exciting journey. Together, we can achieve great things and make our mark this season,” he added.
