Chennaiyin FC have announced their full squad for the Indian Super League 2023-24 season.

The Marina Machans, who were crowned as Champions twice, are gearing up for the new season as they open their campaign with a trip to Bhubaneswar against Odisha FC on Saturday (September 23). The Blues won the ISL in 2015 and the 2017-18 season.

They have named 29 players who will take part in the upcoming domestic league season. The team from Tamil Nadu had a disappointing outing last season where they failed to advance to the playoffs, finishing 8th in the league table. And their primary objective will be to rally back in the playoff spots this season.

"Our model at Chennaiyin is different from those big spenders. We obviously invest where we can, but it's more in young players. And I've been known to give young players a chance and develop young Indians and that's what I'll continue to do," said Owen Coyle, the coach of Chennaiyin FC.
