Pax of Nagoa and Geno Sports Club will be a part of this edition of Goa Professional League while Dattaraj Salgaocar’s team shall join the top tier league from the 2024-25 season

The GFA Executive Committee in its meeting today approved the promotion of Cortalim Villagers into the Goa Professional League 2023-24 season. This was necessitated after the withdrawal of Salgaocar FC from the top tier of Goan football.

Following our decision not to participate in the Goa Pro League, there has been a lot of speculation in the press and emotional outpouring from our players, fans and well-wishers. We at Salgaocar FC have indeed been very touched and moved by the heartfelt sentiments shared. We would like to assure all of them that this is not a decision that was taken lightly, and it was the hardest in the history of our illustrious club. However, we strongly feel that the future of club football in Goa has reached a crossroads and we were forced to decide on a way forward.

In a stunning victory, Caitano Fernandes, a businessman previously unaffiliated with any football club, has been elected as the President of the Goa Football Association (GFA) for a four-year term. Representing FC Tuem, Fernandes garnered 83 out of 159 votes, defeating Savio Alemao, son of former chief minister Churchill Alemao. Fernandes' success can be attributed to his compelling vision for Goan football, which resonated with the clubs and voters. His positive campaign, detailed vision plan, and endorsements from influential figures like Shivanand Salgaocar and FC Goa president Akshay Tandon played a crucial role in his victory. Fernandes aims to bring Goan football back to its former glory and has expressed confidence in delivering tangible results within three months of taking office.

The recent lackluster performance of Goan football teams in the Santosh Trophy has ignited a heated discussion in the football community. As print and social media platforms buzz with opinions from football experts, the focus has shifted to the eligibility regulations set by the All India Football Federation (AIFF). These regulations restrict players participating in the Indian Super League (ISL) and I-League from representing their home state in the Santosh Trophy. While some criticize this limitation, others argue that it provides an opportunity for young players to shine on a bigger stage.

The Directorate of Sports and Youth Affairs (DSYA) in Panaji, Goa recently completed 50 years, signifying its crucial role in the promotion and development of sports in the region.
