History

edit

After Salgaocar FC 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 2024-25 Goa Professional League.[4] His father, Vasudev Salgaocar founded and ran Salgaocar FC until his death, after which Dattaraj Salgaocar and his brother Shivanand V. Salgaocar 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 team.[5] The team took part in the 2024 Bandodkar Trophy[6][7] and reached the final round of the qualifiers where they missed out on the main tournament by a whisker to Sporting Clube de Goa.[8]
