The name of Salgaocar Sports Club occupies a pride of place in the annals of the history of football in India. Salgaocar Sports Club has distinguished itself in football right from 1956, when the club was founded to give a platform to the Goan youth to showcase their talent to the country, and the world.

Our Football Team was the first Goan team to participate in the prestigious Durand Football Tournament in New Delhi after Goa's liberation in 1961. The team was felicitated by late Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru at his residence. That was just the beginning of a long and triumphant history at the national level for the past forty years.

Players like Bruno Coutinho, Bramhanand Shankhwalkar went on to win the Arjuna award, the highest sports recognition in the country. Lawrence Gomes, Franky Baretto, Bento Andrew, Arnold Rodrigues, Roy Baretto, Derrick Pereirra, Savio Madeira, Candidio Abreu, Menino Figuereido are legends whose fame extends well beyond the sandy shores of Goa thus not only permanently engraving their names in the history of the club and the hearts of its fans, but also as top quality Indian players who earned laurels for the country.

In the long list of victories that Salgaocar Sports Club has won at the local and national levels, some stand out with a mark of distinction:

Salgaocar Sports Club Youth Development System: At Salgaocar Sports Club, it is a firm belief that this football fanatical state of Goa, long celebrated for the countless talents it has produced for the Indian blue, has many a raw talent that just needs the right guidance and coaching inputs to carve a niche at the National stage. The club has gone about in the right earnest by investing considerably in a youth development programme aimed at nurturing youngsters and molding them into top quality players who will bring unspeakable pride to the club and the nation. With as many as 7 age-group teams from U-12 till U-20, there are around 200 'future stars' currently learning the art of being a successful footballer under the tutelage of the club's qualified team of coaches.

The staunch commitment to the Youth Program was greatly rewarded when the club's U-15 team won the Manchester United Premier Cup India finals in 2008, the first Goan team to do so, thus qualifying for the World Finals to be played in Manchester.

Two great legacies bequeathed to India by the British are the English language and the game of cricket. While the former continues to be an official language in India, the latter has contributed a great deal to developing a people to people relationship.

Salgaocar's cricket team has been instrumental in contributing many talented players to Goan cricket. The cricket team has performed remarkably well in the local and outstation tournaments. In the last two seasons it has won nearly every major tournament in Goa. The cricket team was crowned Premier Division Champions for the season 1997-98 and individual & collective performances brought victories in two of the four tournaments participated in.

The cricket club has been crowned premier division champions in 2006.
