is a sports club based in the
India n state of
Goa . It is renowned for its
Football team built on the lines of
Portuguese giants
Sporting Lisbon and adopting a similar club crest.
The club made its debut in the 2003/2004 season of the
Indian National Football League , and were on the verge of winning their first league championship but lost out on the last day when
Dempo pipped them to the title. Their season was marred by a horrific bus accident which ruled out 4 key players for the whole season, while several others were injured. However, led by Nigerian import
Dudu Omagbemi , they managed to complete their matches in a very short span of time (they were given a few weeks off so that their players could recover) and heroically came second ahead of traditional powerhouses
East Bengal ,
Mohun Bagan ,
Salgaocar and
Mahindra United .
