History

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. Eight years after he was forced to end his association with FC Goa, Dattaraj Salgaocar returned to the Goan football scene with a club of his own. Salgaocar Corporation paid the 50 lakh direct entry fee and entered the 2024–25 Goa Professional League. [5]

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. [6] The team took part in the 2024 Bandodkar Trophy [7] [8] and reached the final round of the qualifiers, where they missed out the main tournament by a whisker to Sporting Clube de Goa. [9]

They made their Goa Pro League debut in the 2024-25 season. The squad featured a roster largely composed of under-21 players. [10] On the final day of the season, they beat Geno SC 2-0 and finished 3rd in the table to claim a spot in the 2025 I-League 3 season. [11] [12]
