Kerala Blasters FC will embark on a pre-season tour of Thailand from July 3 to 22.

The camp presents the first opportunity for new head coach Mikael Stahre to take charge of the squad. The players will be reporting directly to Pattaya, where the team will set up a base.

The three-week camp will feature at least three friendlies against top Thai clubs ahead of the team's participation in the 133rd Durand Cup, set to begin on July 26. 

Apart from the new signings, new faces from the Blasters Academy are expected to join the squad in Thailand. The travelling squad will be announced later.

The friendly matches will be conducted as closed-door events.

"I'm very happy that we have such opportunity to start pre-season in a training camp abroad. This will be useful for many reasons like team building, quality training conditions, friendly matches. This is something very important for new coaching staff as well," said Blasters Sporting Director Karolis Skinkys.
