Noah Sadaoui has completed a permanent move to Indonesian club Dewa United, officially bringing an end to his time with Kerala Blasters FC. The Moroccan winger initially joined the Indonesian side on a loan arrangement in January 2026 before making the transfer permanent ahead of the 2026/27 season. His departure marks the close of a brief but remarkably impactful chapter in the Indian Super League, where he established himself as one of the most clinical forwards to wear the Kerala Blasters yellow jersey.
Sadaoui arrived at Kerala Blasters on July 2, 2024, signing a two-year contract from fellow ISL side FC Goa. His impact was immediate and explosive. In just his second appearance for the club, he scored a stunning hat-trick during an 8-0 demolition of Mumbai City FC in the 2024 Durand Cup. Nine days later, he repeated the feat with another hat-trick against CISF Protectors, finishing the tournament with six goals and claiming the Golden Boot. That blistering start set the tone for a stint that would see him become a fan favorite at the club.
Over his time with Kerala Blasters, Sadaoui made 28 appearances, scoring 14 goals and providing 7 assists. His 14 goals place him among the top five all-time scorers for the club, while his two hat-tricks are the most in Kerala Blasters’ history. In a single season, he recorded 21 direct goal contributions, underlining his importance to the team’s attacking output. His ability to deliver in crucial moments and his consistent threat from the flanks made him one of the standout performers in the ISL during his tenure.
The move to Dewa United represents a new challenge for the 33-year-old, who brings seasoned international experience from his career in Morocco and various leagues to the Indonesian Super League. For Kerala Blasters, Sadaoui’s departure leaves a significant void in the attacking department, one that the club will need to address as they prepare for the upcoming season. His permanent exit also adds to the list of key players the Blasters have lost in recent months, further complicating the squad rebuild ahead of the 2026/27 campaign.
