In 1990, Salgaocar participated at the Jawaharlal Nehru Centenary Club Cup in Kolkata, which is the only international club tournament held in India. [31] 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. [32] The club was briefly managed by noted Indian coach T. K. Chathunni in the late 1990s. [33] [34]

Salgaocar participated in the National Football League (India) since the tournament began in 1996, [35] [36] [37] and successfully annexed all possible trophies on the Indian circuit thereby etching their name amongst the top teams in the country. A National League triumph in 1999, [38] [39] [40] 3 Federation Cups in 1988, 1989 and 1997, [41] Super Cup in 1997 and 1999, prestigious Rovers Cup, in 1989, 1996 [42] and 1999, Durand Cup, twice in 1999 [43] and 2003, [44] Sait Nagjee Trophy in Calicut, in 1987 and TFA shield at Madurai, in 1979.

The last few years, one may describe as one that has seen the glory years seem light years away. Relegation, a successful promotion, and then again relegation has left the Salgaocar faithfully shattered. Critics have been swift in writing the club off, but managed to make the first division of the NFL in 2003 and staying their till the beginning of the I-League. In 1996, Salgaocar became one of the original 12 clubs in the National Football League and finished 3rd in Group A but finished 7th in the Final Round.

Salgaocar started the 2011–12 I-League as the defending champion. [63] But they had a rather disappointing season where they finished their campaign at 6th position. [64] Salgaocar started the 2012–13 campaign with Karim Bencherifa as their head coach. [65] [66] [67] His one-year contract was terminated before the end of the year, due to poor performances and prolonged national team duties. [68] But he left to take over the reins at Mohun Bagan after two games into the new season. He was replaced by David Booth, [69] [70] [71] who had previously coached Mahindra United and Mumbai. [72] More disappointments followed in the season as they were close to the drop at one time. They finished the season at 7th position. [73] Salgaocar replaced Booth with Derrick Pereira who had been the coach of Pune FC for the past four seasons and had led them to two consecutive top-5 finishes in the I-League. Salgaocar started the 2013–14 I-League brightly and at one time led the table for six game weeks, but a rough patch of 8 games, which included four straight losses, derailed their campaign and saw them lose the title to Bengaluru FC. Salgaocar finished their campaign at third place, which was a marked improvement over their past two campaign finishes. [74] [75]
