Over the past two days at the Goa Football Development Council (GFDC) Summit 2024, we’ve had the privilege of connecting with passionate voices, sharing ideas, and engaging in discussions focused on reviving Goan football that included every facet of stakeholders in Goan football and the Government of Goa.
We’ve listened to valuable recommendations and felt the shared determination of all stakeholders to steer Goan football back to its roots and potential.
As a club deeply embedded in Goa’s heart, FC Goa has always strived to reflect the spirit, talent, and passion of this vibrant community. Intentions are essential, but actions are what truly drive change. For the past decade, FC Goa has strived to be a beacon for football in the state, and we believe it’s our responsibility to lead by example, inspiring a shift in how football is experienced here.
In this spirit, we’re taking the first step towards change, a leap of faith driven by the hope of a more connected and accessible football culture.
We’re thrilled to announce that, for our upcoming prime-time match against Mumbai City on Saturday, 19th Oct, ticket prices will be reduced to make our games even more accessible to fans across Goa and to demonstrate the power of football when made accessible.
Here’s how the new pricing will look:
– North Lower, South Lower stands:
₹49
– North Upper, South Upper Stands: ₹99
– East Lower Stand: ₹199
– East Upper Stand: ₹299
– West Upper: ₹399
We hope that this move, one amongst many initiatives we intend to undertake, will not only rekindle the passion for football within our Goan community but also serve as a catalyst, inspiring other stakeholders in Goan football to take action. Together, we can make a lasting impact and breathe new life into the sport that unites us.
So, come and join us! Let’s fill the stands, cheer with all our hearts, and show the world that Goan football is here to stay and thrive.
See you on the 19th!
