Salgaocar FC

1956–2009

Salgaocar Sports Club was established in 1956 as the Vimson Club and also participated as Clube Desportivo Salgaocar until the liberation of Goa in 1961. 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. 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 1988, they clinched the Sait Nagjee Cup in Kerala. In 1989, they reached the final again, but ended-up as runners-up after their defeat to Bangladeshi club Dhaka Abahani. 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. The club was briefly managed by noted Indian coach T. K. Chathunni in the late 1990s. Salgaocar participated in the National Football League (India) since the tournament began in 1996, and successfully conquered all possible trophies on the Indian circuit, thereby etching their name amongst the top teams in the country.
