FC Goa are one of the formidable sides in the Indian Super League (ISL) given their record of having missed out on a play-off berth just once in seven seasons. However, what remains an unfulfilled dream is the fact that they haven't won the ISL title as yet. Yes, they have won the ISL League Winner's Shield back in 2019-20 under the guidance of Sergio Lobera but have always faltered in the knock-out games of the ISL.
When other ISL outfits chose to send their second-string side for the Durand Cup, it was FC Goa who fielded their best players and approached the tournament with utmost seriousness which saw them clinch the tournament.
