Fall has been a rock at the back for OFC. Known for his marshalling, defending, and heading prowess, the Senegalese center-back has been a cornerstone in Sergio Lobera’s backline.
He featured in 41 ISL games in Odisha colours, helping his side keep nine clean sheets. He also scored eight goals in two seasons, adding a dynamic versatility to the Kalinga Warriors' style of play.
Jahouh also joined OFC in 2023, following the footsteps of Fall. The creator-in-chief, Jahouh, has been sensational at the heart of the pitch, controlling the game’s tempo with his versatile passing range and sheer touch of brilliance.
The Moroccan midfielder played 38 games in two years at OFC. He created 83 chances during his time with the Kalinga Warriors and also recorded 11 goal contributions.

Peprah joined the Blasters in 2023 and played a key role in KBFC’s attacking unit. He scored eight goals in his 35 appearances and also created 23 chances during this phase.
From rousing the energetic Kochi crowd with his thunderstorm strikes and scoring crucial goals in crunch moments, Peprah’s impact has been instrumental at KBFC. The Ghanaian striker averaged 0.26 goals per match in the 2024-25 season and also maintained a 19.35% goal conversion rate.
Another forward, Ishan Pandita, also bade farewell to the Blasters after joining the club in 2023 from Jamshedpur FC.
Pandita missed the majority of the 2024-25 season due to an injury. He featured in only three games and clocked just 68 minutes on the field. However, Pandita could not record any goal contribution in the ISL for the Blasters.
Goalkeeper Kamaljit Singh will also leave the club following his loan stint from Odisha FC coming to an end. He featured in KBFC’s home game against FC Goa but suffered a 0-2 defeat in Kochi.
The Blasters also announced the departures of fitness coach Werner Martens, goalkeeping coach Slaven Progovecki, and assistant coach Tomasz Tchorz.

Michu joined the club in 2021 from East Bengal FC and has been part of the Highlanders for the last four seasons.
The veteran shot-stopper featured in 40 ISL matches and registered six clean sheets. Michu played a key role under the bars over the years with his agile saves and leadership skills.
Michu only featured in a single game in the 2024-25 ISL season against East Bengal FC and helped his team keeping a clean sheet in their commanding 4-0 victory in Shillong.
