AIFF President Kalyan Chaubey: Sesa FA’s Joshua D’Silva and FC Tuem’s Pearl Fernandes were named the GFA men’s and women’s best players at the Goa Football Association’s annual awards night at Verna. AIFF President Kalyan Chaubey was present as the chief guest, along with GFA President Dr. Caitano Fernandes, AIFF Executive Committee member and former India captain Climax Lawrence, and many other dignitaries.

The Goa Football Association presented the Lifetime Achievement Award to Nicholas Pereira, the legendary Goan defender. Nicholas won two Santosh Trophy titles in 1983 and 1984.

“Football in Goa is not a new thing. It is in the daily life of the people of Goa. I don’t think you need an outsider to stand here and tell you about football. I remember my days playing for Salgaocar and the Fatorda Stadium being full. All the faces here I’ve probably met or seen, 20 years ago,” said Kalyan Chaubey.
