The Kerala connect behind Diamond Harbour’s ISL flight

Kerala-born footballer Jobby Justin played a key role in Diamond Harbour FC’s promotion to the Indian Super League after winning the IFL title. The club, formed in 2020, impressed under coach Kibu Vicuna’s attacking style. Justin, now captain, praised the team’s “never-say-die spirit” after a dramatic season. After years in Kolkata football, he now calls the city his “home away from home”.
