Amid the escalating frenzy and excitement, the enthusiasts believe the Kalinga Cup final has come as an opportunity for the Khalid Jamil boys to make up for the semi-final defeat in the India Super League (ISL) 2024-25. "There's no stopping our boys. Determined to win their first-ever Super Cup and make up for the ISL semi-final loss," said JFC fan, 28-year-old Aditya Pathak.
Bank executive and JFC fan Shailesh Tiwary said in the previous two editions, JFC failed at the semi-final stage. "In the current edition, the Khalid Jamil boys are completely focused and resilient."
Further, on the back of the show of unwavering support and affection for Javi Hernandez, Stephen Eze, Rei Tachikawa, and Javier Siverio, there's a word of caution coming from the JFC fans for the match against
FC Goa
, also known as the Gaurs. "The Gaurs are not an underdog but favourites. Our players have to do their best," said JFC supporter and school football coach, Sanjay Mahato.
