About FC Goa
FC Goa are one of the Indian Super League's most successful and entertaining clubs, a passionate Goan institution in orange and navy that have brought some of the world's most celebrated football names to the shores of the Arabian Sea. Founded in 2014 as an ISL founding member with Brazilian legend Zico as their first coach, FC Goa have built a reputation for attractive, attacking football and made history in 2019-20 by becoming the first Indian club to qualify for the AFC Champions League group stage. Founded in 2014, FC Goa play at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium (capacity around 20,000) in Fatorda, Goa, India. They compete in the Indian Super League. Key honours include the ISL League Winners Shield (2019-20), the Super Cup (2019), and the Durand Cup (2021). Nicknamed the Gaurs, they wear orange and navy. FC Goa's orange kits are among the most distinctive in Indian football, a bold colour that captures the warmth and spirit of Goa's coastal football culture. The shirts from the historic 2019-20 AFC Champions League campaign, when Goa became the first Indian club to compete in the continental group stage, are landmark pieces in the history of Indian football. The evolution from the club's early blue kits to the orange identity adopted in 2018 also represents a defining moment in how FC Goa presented themselves to both India and the football world.
