Bengaluru FC, on Sunday, named their 20-man squad for the Premier League Next Gen Cup 2022, set to take place in the United Kingdom over the next week. Led by Head Coach Naushad Moosa, the side features new signings Felixson Fernandes, Clarence Fernandes and Ankith Padmanabhan.
“We are really glad to be here in London and I’m especially happy for the boys who have worked hard to earn this experience. The Reliance Foundation Development League (RFDL) gave me the opportunity to watch some of the players in action, and assess where they stand on their path to the first team.

"The Next Gen Cup 2022 will now help us play against some of the best youth teams in England, and we’re all really excited,” said Moosa, after the Blue Colts touched down in London and had a tour of the Wembley Stadium.
Namgyal Bhutia is set to lead the Blue Colts out into action for the Next Gen Cup, having qualified as winners of the RF Development League. Kerala Blasters, who finished second in the same tournament, are the other Indian Super League team in the UK for the tournament.
