Clube de Salgaocar is an Indian professional football club based in Vasco, Goa.

History

[edit]

After Salgaocar shut down its senior team,[3] industrialist Dattaraj Salgaocar, who previously owned FC Goa for the first two years of its existence, had a bid accepted for a brand new team to enter the Goa Professional League.[4] His father, Vasudev Salgaocar founded and ran Salgaocar until his death, after which Dattaraj and his brother Shivanand held on to its reins.

Before the 2024–25 Goa Professional League, Keenan Almeida was appointed the head coach of Clube de Salgaocar, along with other members of the technical staff.[5] The team took part in the 2024 Bandodkar Trophy[6][7] and reached the final round of the qualifiers where they missed out the main tournament by a whisker to Sporting Clube de Goa.[8]
