Salgaocar pulled out of I-League 2016–17 citing All India Football Federation (AIFF) bias against I-League.[18][19][20]

History[edit | edit source]

1956–2009[edit | edit source]

Salgaocar Sports Club was established in 1956.[21][22] It was founded by VM Salgaocar, founder President of the VM Salgaocar Group of Companies, to give a platform to the Goan youth to showcase their talent to the country, and to the world.[23]

In 1962, Salgaocar Sports Club became the first Goan team to be extended an invitation to play in the prestigious Durand Cup in New Delhi, and such was the joy of a Goan team's participation in the Durand Cup, that the Late Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru felicitated the team at his residence.

In 1990, Salgaocar participated at the Jawaharlal Nehru Centenary Club Cup in Kolkata, which is the only international club tournament held in India. They were knocked out of the tournament after finishing on the bottom of Group-A, where they faced clubs like Paraguayan side Club Olimpia and Danish side Lyngby Boldklub.[24]

Salgaocar participated in the National Football League (India) since the tournament began in 1996,[28][29][30] and successfully annexed all possible trophies on the Indian circuit thereby etching their name amongst the top teams in the country. A National League triumph in 1999,[31][32] 3 Federation Cups in 1988, 1989 and 1997,[33] the Super Cup in 1997 and 1999, the prestigious Rovers Cup, Mumbai, in 1989, 1996 and 1999, the Durand Cup, twice in 1999[34] and 2003,[35] the Sait Nagjee, Calicut, in 1987 and TFA shield at Madurai, in 1979. Salgaocar Sports Club have also been crowned Goa State Champions for a record 19 times including winners for 3 consecutive years of the Goa Professional League in 2002–03, 2003–04 and 2004–05. The Club also won the Governor's Cup in the years 1999 and 2001.

The last few years, one may describe as one that has seen the glory years seem light years away. Relegation, a successful promotion, and then again relegation has left the Salgaocar faithfully shattered. Critics have been swift in writing the club off, but managed to make the first division of the NFL in 2003 and staying their till the beginning of the I-League. In 1996 Salgaocar became one of the original 12 clubs in the National Football League and finished 3rd in Group A but finished 7th in the Final Round.[36]

In the 2002–03 National Football League season, Salgaocar achieved success and they earned runners-up position,[37] after ending their journey with 44 points in 22 matches.[38][39]

2010–present[edit | edit source]

In the 2010–11 season, Salgaocar played in the I-League which was India's biggest football competition and they emerged as the champions.[40] After 26 rounds, Salgaocar SC won the title and they qualified for the 2012 Asian Champions League qualifying round.[41]

On 29 September 2011, Salgaocar won their second trophy in four months by winning the 2011 Indian Federation Cup by beating East Bengal in the Final 3–1.[42] This was the first time in Salgaocar history that they had completed a double of league and cup win.[43]

Starting line-up during Salgaocar FC vs Bengaluru FC match for 2015–16 I-League on 9 January 2016

Salgaocar started the 2011–12 I-League as the defending champion.[44] But they had a rather disappointing season where they finished their campaign at 6th position.[45] Salgaocar started the 2012–13 campaign with Karim Bencherifa as their head coach.[46][47] His one-year contract was terminated before the end of the year, due to poor performances and prolonged national team duties.[48] But he left to take over the reins at Mohun Bagan after two games into the new season. He was replaced by David Booth,[49][50][51] who had previously coached Mahindra United and Mumbai.[52] More disappointments followed in the season as they were close to the drop at one time. They finished the season at 7th position.[53] Salgaocar replaced Booth with Derrick Pereira who had been the coach of Pune FC for the past four seasons and had led them to two consecutive top-5 finishes in the I-League. Salgaocar started the 2013–14 I-League brightly and at one time led the table for six game weeks, but a rough patch of 8 games, which included four straight losses, derailed their campaign and saw them lose the title to Bengaluru FC. Salgaocar finished their campaign at third place, which was a marked improvement over their past two campaign finishes.[54][55]

In 2014 Durand Cup, held from 20 October to 8 November in Goa, Salgaocar emerged championship defeating Pune FC 1–0 in final.[56][57] The club was later opted out of the 2016–17 I-League season as two other Goan clubs pulled out.[58]

Colours[edit | edit source]
