Goa Football Development Council (GFDC)
inaugurated it’s 3rd Associate Football Centre on 20th February 2014 at Path Verem Ground, Savoi
Verem with great fanfare amidst large gathering of locals in this interior part
of Goa. The inauguration was done by Minister
for Co-operation, Factories & Boilers, Craftsmen Training, Mr. Deepak Dhavalikar, in the presence of GFDC Chairman Dr.Rufino
Monteiro. GFDC members present were Mr. Bramhanand Shankwalkar and Mr.Agnelo Fonseca besides Sarpanch
and Panch’s of Savoi Verem.
150 students from around the vicinity have
so far enrolled at the Centre, which so
far did not have any infrastructure despite the popularity of the game in this
region, and they will be imparted training by 2 qualified football coaches.
GFDC is now aligning with South Africa Football Association Development Agency
(SAFDA) for the development of football in Goa and this will be a boon for the
young footballers of Savoi Verem.
