History

[edit]

Foundation

[edit]

One of the traditional regional powerhouses of Indian football, Goa was bound to be one of the cities to participate in the Indian Super League from its inception.[7] In early 2014, it was announced that the All India Football Federation, the national federation for football in India, and IMG-Reliance would be accepting bids for ownership of eight of nine selected cities for the upcoming Indian Super League, an eight-team franchise league modelled along the lines of the Indian Premier League and Major League Soccer in the United States.[8] On 13 April 2014, it was announced that Venugopal Dhoot had won the bidding for the Goa franchise along with Dattaraj Salgaocar and Shrinivas Dempo.[9] The club was officially launched on 26 August 2014 at a well-attended ceremony at the Goa Marriott Resort and Spa in Miramar.[10] The club represents Goa, the only state to declare football as its official sport. The logo of the club represents Goa's state animal the Gaur, while the colours blue and orange symbolizes the Goan coastline and sunrise.

On 23 September 2014, Indian cricketer Virat Kohli was unveiled as one of the co-owners.[11] Bollywood actor Varun Dhawan was chosen as the brand ambassador of the club.[12] FC Goa is the first Indian sports club to launch a satellite TV channel – FC Goa TV on Videocon D2H.[12]

Zico era (2014–2016)

[edit]
Robert Pires, the club's first marquee signing in the 2014 season.

Brazilian footballer Zico signed as the club's head coach on 2 September 2014. On 20 September 2014, FC Goa officially confirmed Premier League winner and former Arsenal footballer Robert Pires as their first marquee player.[13] On 15 October 2014, FC Goa played their first Indian Super League match against Chennaiyin FC at the Fatorda Stadium, Goa. FC Goa lost four out of their first six matches but came back strongly in the second half of the tournament with five victories from their last eight encounters keeping five clean sheets in their 14 matches. Overall, Zico has done a remarkable job with six wins, four defeats and four draws, which took them to the second spot of the standings with 22 points.[14] By finishing second in the league, the club qualified for the end-of-season play-offs, where they lost via a penalty shootout against Atlético de Kolkata in the semi-finals after a goalless draw.[15] Particularly encouraging from the first season was the arrival of Romeo Fernandes on the national footballing scene. The Goan's consistent displays on the pitch quickly turned him into a fan favourite and attracted interest from lands as far as Brazil. His performances culminated in him being loaned out to Atletico Paranaense from parent club Dempo SC, where he became the first Indian to play professionally at the senior level in South America.[16]

Zico, Goa's first head coach led them to the finals in the 2015 Indian Super League season.

FC Goa enjoyed a stellar 2015 season in the Indian Super League.[17] Head coach Zico continued as the head coach of the franchise for a second successive year.[citation needed] After a good run in the 2014 season, much was expected from the team. Zico lined up an impressive team ahead of the season with veteran players like Leonardo Moura, Reinaldo Oliveira, and former La Masia youth product, Joffre Mateu who won the first season of the ISL with Atletico de Kolkata joining the ranks.[citation needed] Frenchman, Gregory Arnolin was the only international player retained from the first season with the club. The Indian contingent had familiar faces in Goan wingers Romeo Fernandes and Mandar Rao Dessai and goalkeeper Laxmikant Kattimani.[citation needed] FC Goa started the season in superb fashion with a commanding 2–0 victory over Delhi Dynamos and that set the tone for the season ahead. Under Zico's tutelage, FC Goa played an attacking brand of football and set the league alight as they finished the league stage of the campaign on top of the standings with 25 points, two clear of the second placed team with 7 victories along the way.[citation needed] In the process, FC Goa scored the most goals in the league stage, having netted 29 times.[citation needed] En route to the semi-finals, the Gaurs earned the record of having attained the highest margin of victory when they beat Mumbai City FC 7–0 in Fatorda. This victory included two players scoring hat-tricks (Dudu Omagbemi and T. Haokip) which was a first in the history of the league. After a 1–0 loss in the first leg of the semi-finals against Delhi Dynamos, FC Goa turned the tie on its head with a dominating 3–0 win at home. This provided them with a chance to win the ISL title at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Fatorda in front of the home fans. In the finals, a late surge by Chennaiyin FC saw FC Goa lose out on the title after a well contested match.[citation needed]

On 23 July 2016, Salgaocar and Dempo stepped down from the ownership of FC Goa.[18] On 5 August 2016, new owner Jaydev Mody brought a 65% stake in the FC Goa team.[19] Head coach Zico continued as the head coach of the franchise for his third and final season. FC Goa had a poor 2016 season after finishing last in the table and picking up only four victories throughout the season. They ended the disappointing season with 14 points and finished last in the table. Zico primarily blamed late preparations for FC Goa's failure which was caused due to the incoming of new owners just a few months before the start of the new season. His 3-year contract with FC Goa ended and did not renew it with the club.[citation needed]

Success under Lobera (2017–2020)

[edit]

In the 2017–18 season, FC Goa won their first match of the 2017–18 Indian Super League 2–3 away against Chennaiyin, this was also their first competitive match under new coach Sergio Lobera, they later went on to lose against Chennayin FC in the semi-finals.[20] Lobera in his second season led Goa to their second final against Bengaluru FC which they lost 0–1 after a late goal from Rahul Bheke in the second half of extra time.[21] In the same season, Goa beat Chennaiyin FC 2–1 in the finals of the 2019 Indian Super Cup to win their first trophy.[22] On 1 February 2020, Goa announced they mutually parted ways with head coach Sergio Lobera and his coaching staff after playing 15 games in the third season.[23] Goa later went on to win the remaining three league games and topped the group stage and won the ISL League Winners Shield, they also became the first Indian club to qualify for AFC Champions League group stage in its current format.[6] However, their 5–6 defeat on aggregate to Chennaiyin FC in the playoffs ended their chance of winning the elusive ISL trophy.[24]

Recent history (2020–2021)

[edit]

On 30 April 2020, Goa appointed Juan Ferrando as their head coach ahead of the new season.[25] The club also announced their partnership with RB Leipzig for the youth development. The club had an impressive stint in the first year under coach Juan until they bowed in the semi-finals of 2020–21 Indian Super League season.

Under the guidance of Ferrando, FC Goa scripted history after scoring their first goal in the AFC Champions League on 20 April against Persepolis FC through a header by Edu Bedia.[26][27] They finished third in Group E with 3 points ahead of Al Rayyan. In the competition, Dheeraj Singh made a whopping 26 saves in five matches to top the goalkeeping chart of the West Zone group stage.[28]

The line-up of 2021 Durand Cup final between FC Goa and Mohammedan Sporting

Goa participated in the 130th edition of Durand Cup and reached to the final, defeating Bengaluru FC 7–6 in sudden death.[29] On 3 October 2021, they clinched their first Durand Cup title defeating Mohammedan Sporting 1–0.[30] On 19 December 2021, club president Akshay Tandon announced that head coach Juan Ferrando had triggered his release clause to join ISL club ATK Mohun Bagan.[31] On 21 December 2021, Derrick Pereira was appointed as the head coach.[32]

Carlos Pena Era (2022–2023)

[edit]

On 16 April 2022, FC Goa appointed Carlos Pena as the head coach. He played his first match as manager against East Bengal and won his first game as the manager. FC Goa failed to qualify ISL playoffs as well as Super Cup Semi Final. After the end of 2022–23 season Carlos Pena & Team management parted away.

Manolo Marquez Era (2023–present)

[edit]

After a lackluster season under Carlos Peña, FC Goa appointed former Hyderabad FC head man Manolo Marquez as their next head coach.[33] Marquez had seen great prior success in Hyderabad, guiding the Nizams to their maiden ISL title in 2021–22 season[34] and back to back second place finishes in the league stage in 2021–22 and 2022–23. Under Marquez, FC Goa opened the 2023–24 season with a 12 game unbeaten run, sitting on top of the table at the winter international break.[35][36] This impressive run had Goa in the driver's seat to the league stage title, until a 3 game collapse saw the Gaurs tumble down the table. Marquez commented on the team's "lack of spirit" down the stretch, even going as far as to say the Gaurs were not deserving of the title after their recent performances.[37] The team, however, bounced back, going unbeaten once again for the rest of the season with 5 wins in their last 7.[38] Marquez lauded the team's effort and the Gaurs' turnaround following the losing spell, as they climbed as high as second in the table by the final matchday.[39] Despite their late heroics however, Goa ended the league stage third in the table, narrowly missing out on the first-round bye and hosting Chennaiyin FC at home in the playoffs.[40]

Goa took part in 2024 Bhausaheb Bandodkar Memorial Trophy, made headlines defeating A-League Men Brisbane Roar by 1–0 in a group stage match, in which Armando Sadiku scored the winner.[41] Later, FC Goa defeated the Jamshedpur FC 3–0 in the 2025 Indian Super Cup - April edition final to win their second national cup title.[42][43][44][45] As the winners, Goa have qualified for the 2025–26 AFC Champions League Two preliminary stage, where they beat Al-Seeb 2–1 to enter group stage.

History

The franchise rights for were secured through a competitive bidding process by a consortium of private investors, including chairman , V.M. Salgaocar Group managing director Dattaraj Salgaocar, and chairman Shrinivas Dempo, with the winners announced on April 12, 2014. The club was officially launched on August 26, 2014, at a ceremony presided over by , marking the formal entry of professional football into the state. The initial investment encompassed a of approximately $25 million for a 10-year term, enabling the setup of club operations, including administrative headquarters and training infrastructure in to foster local talent development and team preparation. FC Goa assembled its inaugural squad by recruiting a blend of domestic players and international talent via the ISL's centralized and draft mechanisms, which allocated foreign players to franchises to enhance competitive quality. Notable early signings included experienced forwards and midfielders from abroad, complementing Indian players scouted from national leagues. Brazilian football icon Zico was appointed as the club's first to guide the team. During the 2014 ISL season, FC Goa competed in 14 matches, securing second place in the regular season standings with 6 wins, 4 draws, and 4 losses, accumulating 22 points. Key highlights included a strong home record at Fatorda Stadium and a semi-final playoff run, ended by a loss to Atlético de Kolkata after a 0-0 aggregate draw. The club rapidly built fan engagement, drawing passionate crowds from Goa's football-loving community and generating excitement through community events and sold-out inaugural home games.

Zico era (2014–2016)

Brazilian football legend Arthur Antunes Coimbra, known as Zico, was appointed as the head coach of FC Goa on September 2, 2014, ahead of the inaugural (ISL) season. Zico, a former international with 71 caps, brought his renowned of attacking, flair-filled football—often characterized by fluid passing, creativity, and an emphasis on offensive play inspired by Brazilian traditions—to the fledgling club. This approach, which prioritized winning through core principles of professionalism and an aggressive mindset, aimed to instill a winning culture in the team from the outset. In the 2014 ISL season, FC Goa, under Zico's guidance, adopted an attacking style that propelled them to a second-place finish in the league stage with 22 points from 14 matches.

Sergio Lobera was appointed head coach of FC Goa in June 2017, succeeding Zico after a disappointing 2016–17 season where the team finished last in the Indian Super League (ISL).

However, heavy defeats, including a 0-1 loss to Hyderabad FC early in the season and a late 0-5 thrashing by , underscored tactical frailties and a dip in form. A string of poor results toward the campaign's end, coupled with an underwhelming performance, led to Peña's mutual departure from the club on 23 April 2023, along with his assistants.
