The Goa Football Association (GFA) may have a future plan in place but there seems to be a long way into rebuilding the supply line of senior players
Football in Goa has been awarded the status of the official state sport in recent years and along with it, the Goa State Football Development Council (GFDC) was formed, though the Goa Football Association (GFA) remains the official administrative body of football.
The football scene in Goa has not been on the rise with the Indian national team seeing a decline in the number of Goan players and also FC Goa is the state's only representative in the top-tier football in the country.
Moreover, after the withdrawal of Sporting Clube de Goa, Salgaocar FC and Dempo SC and with Churchill Brothers SC's relegation last season, there are currently no teams from the state in the upcoming I-League season.
"The main problem is with AIFF (All India Football Federation) not providing clubs with a proper roadmap. There were talks about two teams to be taken into the I-League but that won't happen," GFA general secretary Welvin Menezes expressed to Goal.
Goa, one of the venues for the 2017 U-17 World Cup that was held in India, has always been an automatic choice to host football tournaments including the likes of AFC U16 Championships.
The football fields in the state are majorly owned and maintained by the Sports Authority of Goa (SAG). Notably, the last season of the Goa Pro League, which is the state's top league, was held at only one stadium - the GFA-owned Duler football stadium.
"There is no royal road to anything. “Be not afraid of life.
“When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left and could say, I used everything you gave me.” Things you can't do it you must do it.

As we talking about Motivation . There is great football player and inpiration to all and his name is Cristiano Ronaldo.
Cristiano Ronaldo The name speaks loads. For the past decade, the Portuguese hit-man has been sitting atop the very pinnacle of his football career. Even after attaching numerous records to his name, he has shown no signs of quitting the beautiful game.
Apart from being the best player in the world, Cristiano Ronaldo also is a role model for millions of people around the globe.
He is a walking tribute to the values of hard work and determination. His charisma has a stark resemblance to former England skipper David Beckham, who was the most popular player on Earth, in his era.
But, great things never happen overnight. The Portuguese captain has shown a vast amount of determination to get to the place where he is. Apart from being the best player in the world, he is a perfect role-model for his fans all over the globe.
With millions of people dreaming about touching the superstar in their wildest dreams, we look at the five most important life lessons that Cristiano Ronaldo has taught us during his career as a footballer.
Cristiano Ronaldo is a known and rigorous hard-worker in the football world."With a combination of dedication and hard work, things come naturally"
Does Cristiano Ronaldo have any short-comings in his game? Nope. The Real Madrid star has trained himself to be the best player on all fronts.
The man can score goals, make key passes, assists, headers, long-shots, dribbles and probably everything a football geek can come up with.
Do you know Ronaldo practices for four hours daily to improve personal skills after team training? Absolute beast.
Anyone who looks at his well-muscled body will think that Cristiano Ronaldo is a sweet ode perfection. But, was it all about being a natural talent? Certainly not.
Back in his yesteryears, Wayne Rooney was regarded to be better than Cristiano Ronaldo. But, the Englishman's lack of proper determination has seen him fall behind Ronaldo, who right now reigns over the football world.
Working hard is the ultimate key to his grand success.
Hard work is inevitable if you dream of being the best. Also, it requires a lot of sacrifices. Ronaldo left his home at the tender age of eighteen to play for Manchester United.
He never indulges in late nights, drinks or parties, in order to maintain his body and fitness. In short, Ronaldo has worshipped his body like a temple.
Success is not hard to come by if we work hard and sacrifice enough to achieve it.
