History

Inception

One of the traditional powerhouse regions of Indian football, Goa was bound to be one of the cities to participate in the Indian Super League from its inception.[2] 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 modeled along the lines of the Indian Premier League and Major League Soccer in the United States.[3] 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.[4] The club was officially launched on 26 August 2014 at a well-attended ceremony at the Goa Marriott Resort & Spa in Miramar.[5]

On 23 September 2014 Virat Kohli Indian Cricketer was unveiled as one of the co-owners.[6] The brand ambassador of the club is Bollywood actor Varun Dhawan.[7] FC Goa is the first Indian sports club to launch a satellite TV Channel – FC Goa TV on Videocon D2H.[7]

Zico era (2014–2016)

Robert Pirès, 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.[8] 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.[9] 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.[10] 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.

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. Head coach Zico continued as the head coach of the franchise for a second successive year. 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. 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.

Lúcio, the club's second marquee signing spent two seasons at FC Goa.

FC Goa started off 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. In the process, FC Goa scored the most number of goals in the league stage, having netted 29 times. 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 (Reinaldo 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. Reinaldo Oliveira finished the season as the highest goal-scorer for the club.

On 23 July 2016, Salgaocar and Dempo stepped down from the ownership of FC Goa.[11] On 5 August 2016, new owner Jaydev Mody brought a 65% stake in the FC Goa team.[12] FC Goa had a poor 2016 season after finishing last in the table and picking up only four victories throughout the season. Head coach Zico continued as the head coach of the franchise for his third and final season. After missing out in the finals last season FC Goa lost their key players Léo Moura and Jonatan Lucca who played an important role last season. They retained international players Gregory Arnolin as well as Joffre Mateu. FC Goa started the season with a 0–2 away loss against NorthEast United FC. After losing two matches and picking up a draw FC Goa won their first match of the season against Mumbai City FC in 0–1 away victory. However the poor form continued and Goa went on to lose four matches and drew one out of the seven. They ended their campaign with a dramatic last minute 5–4 home victory over Chennaiyin FC. 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 few months before the start of the new season. Rafael Coelho ended as the season's top scorer with 5 goals. His 3-year contract with FC Goa ended and did not renew it with the club.

Recent history (2017–)

On 5 June 2017, FC Goa announced Sergio Lobera Rodriguez as their new head coach on a two-year contract following the exit of Zico.[13] He signed six new Spanish players reconstructing and reforming the side which included Spanish players Manuel Lanzarote and Edu Bedia. 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.[14]

Crest and colours

The FC Goa brand stands for strength, integrity and pride. A single club united and resolute in its pursuit for glory. The team embodies the spirit of Joga Bonito, playing the beautiful game the way it should be played - with pace, power and passion.
