Chelsea India acts as the national organisation for the country’s network of local Official Supporters Clubs. Across the season, it gives members the opportunity to watch matches together, take part in local events and stay connected with other Chelsea supporters in their local area. Established in 2006, Chelsea India includes 46 branches nationwide and more than 14,000 registered members.

Blue Arena is the biggest event in Chelsea India’s calendar, giving its members the chance to gather from around India for a full day of exciting activities. This year’s event was the sixth edition of Blue Arena, with previous editions having been hosted in different cities across India.

Held on Saturday 9 May, Blue Arena 6 brought together more than 200 fans from Official Supporters Clubs across India for a packed day of football, exclusive experiences and shared support, before the evening screening of Chelsea’s Premier League match against Liverpool. The club also provided giveaways for attendees, along with prizes for the day’s winners across various competitions.

Throughout the day, fans took part in a five-a-side tournament, a FIFA gaming tournament, and the True Blue Fan Quiz – all with exclusive prizes for the winners. Fans also heard from a panel featuring football content creators from Delhi who shared their personal stories of supporting Chelsea. A prize ceremony to end the day recognised the winners of the events, before attention turned to the match screening as supporters watched the Blues together.

For many fans who attended, Blue Arena 6 was a rare opportunity to meet fellow Chelsea supporters from across India face to face, and cheer on the club they love.

All together, wherever you may be, Official Supporters Clubs continue to bring Chelsea fans closer to the club and to each other around the world.

Fans interested in being part of the Official Supporters Clubs community can find and join a club near them and be part of Chelsea’s global network.
