The Indian Super League buzzes with excitement as Jamshedpur FC reveals its 28-player squad for the 2025-26 season, marking their return after almost a year hiatus. Led by proven coach Owen Coyle, who previously clinched the shield, the team gears up for nine key home games at the iconic JRD Tata Sports Complex.
Their season opener pits them against Mohun Bagan Super Giant on February 15 at JRD Stadium, setting the stage for high-stakes action. This carefully curated squad boasts equilibrium, with six overseas players injecting world-class experience into a dynamic homegrown nucleus. Veterans mingle seamlessly with emerging stars, creating a potent blend of wisdom and raw energy.
Midfield dominance is evident, powered by internationals Nikola Stojanovic and Madih Talal, complemented by Pranay Halder. Rei Tachikawa bolsters the home midfield further. The defense remains fortified by stalwarts Pratik Chaudhary, Stephen Eze, and Lazar Sirkovik, while the forward line sizzles with Messi Bouli, Sanan, and Ritvik.
Owen Coyle expressed delight over the squad’s work ethic post his club’s comeback. ‘Since our arrival, the squad’s commitment has been outstanding,’ Coyle noted. ‘Taking over a pre-Super Cup group, we’ve seen remarkable attitude and training diligence. Our goal is to carry this momentum to the field, beginning Sunday’s ISL clash.’
