In another digital analysis of Global Digital Football Benchmark by Result Sports, KBFC is at the 65th position among over 250 football clubs in the world in terms of strength in the digital community.
Owing to Covid, the previous season and the ongoing one has been closed to viewers and fans much to the disappointment in the club’s beloved fans who have cheered for them and encouraged them endlessly.

“We are delighted with these results. It’s a reflection of all the hard work the team puts in behind the scenes as well as the tremendous support our fans showcase time and again. The digital space is growing rapidly and we’re happy to be one of the leaders in the space. Moreover, that we’ve also onboarded more national brands this season than ever before is testament to our growth as a marketable sports club in India, not just a football club from Kerala.” Says Nikhil Bhardwaj, the Director of KBFC.
