The story has in store high intensity of romance, friendship, rivalry and betrayal, amidst a fight to rise on the top. It is roller-coaster ride filled with twists and turns which decides whether the Bomber FC will rise to glory!

Extending their support to the cause, ZEE5 is associating with Oscar foundation for ‘Education with a Kick’, a combination of Football and Education programme where children from underprivileged background are enrolled for learning life skills to complete their primary education. This project includes weekly football and life skill sessions and conducts remedial education classes to strengthen the basic subjects. This helps the children to cope up with the challenges of reading and writing in school. Sunil Chhetri on his cameo appearance said, “I am glad that the platform is rendering itself to such great causes and formats. Being in this sport for so long, I have come across a lot of talented Football enthusiasts who fail to follow their dreams due to financial constraints. However, with ZEE5’s association with Oscar, the underprivileged kids will be trained at a very young age building a strong base for them. Also, Bombers is an encouraging show and I am glad to have played a part in it. I hope more such sport-centric shows are madein future.”

Varun Mitra said, “Binge watching movies, series and original content has now become possible due to the varied OTT platforms that have created a niche audience hungry for content. Being a part of ZEE5 original, Bombers, along with a power packed star cast has only helped me improve my skills and explore new things about myself.The show is about Chandannagar’s football team, Bombers FC, hence promises strong football skills on display along with a high-octane drama. I cannot wait for everyone to watch the show.”Talking about the show,Director VishalFuria shared, Every character in the show has interesting layers which contribute to the progression of the story and the audience will love and connect with the journey of each one of them. I extremely enjoy working on stories which have high intensity thrill combined with great human drama to offer and Bombers promises to keep the audience on high Adrenaline rush as it offers both these elements. We are glad to be presenting an inspiring story of brotherhood on ZEE5 for the audience to binge watch.”
