context_page_description: Kerala Blasters Football Club is an Indian professional football club based in Kochi, Kerala. They compete in the Indian Super League, since its inception. The club was established on 24 May 2014 and began their first professional season a few months later in October 2014.
  The club has traditionally worn its yellow home kit since its inception and is one of the widely supported clubs in India. They play their home matches at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium at Kochi. The club has held the record for highest league attendance every season, regularly averaging over 40,000 fans a game.
  The Blasters played their inaugural match on 13 October 2014, losing 1–0 to NorthEast United. They made it to the 2014 Indian Super League Final in its inaugural season, where they lost 1–0 to ATK after an injury time goal from Mohammed Rafique. They did not qualify for the finals the next season, but reached the final again in 2016. The team again suffered a defeat against ATK, this time through penalties 4–3.
context_section_description: The Manjappada Kerala Blasters Fan Group are the largest and most active fan group for the Kerala Blasters and the Indian Super League overall. The group was founded in 2014 when the Blasters was formed with the purpose of having all the fans of the Kerala Blasters under one umbrella. Before every match, the group reaches the stadium early to set up tifos, banners, and balloons.
  Overall, the Kerala Blasters are known in the ISL for their fanatical supporters, known together as the "Yellow Army". Averaging over 55,000 fans a game, the Blasters have led the league in highest average attendance every season they have played. "In Kerala, the people support football tirelessly. It doesn't matter if the team wins or loses, they are always there in high numbers. I've played at places like Kolkata, where if the team loses two-three matches on the spin, the numbers in the stadium diminish. There is nothing like that in Kerala," said former India international Pappachen Pradeep on the football fans in Kerala.
