Football Club Goa is an Indian professional football club based in Margao, Goa, that competes in the Indian Super League (ISL), the top flight of Indian football. The club was established on 26 August 2014.[4][5] Nicknamed as Gaurs, the club plays their home matches at the Fatorda Stadium in Margao.[6]
Brazilian coach Zico was the first manager of the club. Its marquee players for its first two seasons have been French winger Robert Pires and Brazilian defender Lúcio respectively. The team finished the league stage in the second position in their first season. In the end-of-season play-offs, they lost via a penalty shootout against Atlético de Kolkata in the semi-finals after a goalless draw. The next year, the team came first in the league stage, then lost the final 3–2 to Chennaiyin FC at home.
In the 2018–19 season, they reached their second final in the league where they lost 1–0 to Bengaluru FC. In the same season, they beat Chennaiyin FC 2–1 in the 2019 Indian Super Cup to win their first national trophy. In the 2019–20 season, FC Goa topped the league stage and won the first ISL League Winners Shield and directly qualified for the AFC Champions League group stage. The club changed from blue shirts and shorts to an orange colour scheme in 2018 which has been used ever since.
