I-League 2024-25: Full updated squad of Real Kashmir FC

Real Kashmir have quite a few new faces for their 2024-25 I-League season.

Real Kashmir are set to begin their 2024-25 I-League campaign and have announced their squad for the competition. Their first league game is on 24th November 2024 as they welcome Rajasthan United to the TRC Turf Ground in Srinagar.

The Snow Leopards finished fifth in their 2023-24 I-League campaign, winning 11 out of 24 league games. Ivory Coast striker Gnohere Krizo finished as the team scorer for the club, scoring 12 goals for the club last season.

Key Signings

Ishfaq Ahmed continues as the manager of Real Kashmir whereas the club has signed a host of new players. Interestingly, all of Kashmir’s foreign signings are of African descent going into the 2024-25 I-League season.

Following captain Muhammad Hammad’s move to FC Goa, the Snow Leopards have reinforced their defense with foreign signings Aminou Bouba and Ramazani Tshimanga. Bouba in particular was signed by Gokulam Kerala FC and has ample experience playing in Indian football.

Following the departure of Krizo to Karbala FC, Real Kashmir’s goalscoring hopes will rely on Abdou Karim Samb this season. The Senegalese striker scored seven I-League goals last season representing Shillong Lajong and Churchill Brothers.

In terms of Indians, midfielders Mohammad Inam and Lalramsanga Tlaichunn will play a big part for the Snow Leopards. Local stars Ifham Ahmad and centreback Hyder Wani are also expected to do well for the club this season.
