Panaji: In an exciting development for football in Goa, Super 30 Soccer Schools and Super Goan Football Club have teamed up with Bengaluru FC (BFC), one of India’s top football clubs. This new partnership is set to enhance football training in Goa and offer young players unprecedented opportunities to excel in the sport.
Under this collaboration, Super 30 Soccer Schools will incorporate Bengaluru FC’s advanced training programs, including their coaching methods, values, and schedules. This move aims to improve the training for young footballers in Goa, preparing them to compete at the highest levels of the sport.
As part of the partnership, trials will be held in Goa for spots in Bengaluru FC and the prestigious JSW BFC Academy in Bellary. This gives local players a chance to showcase their skills and potentially advance their football careers.
Bengaluru FC coaches will visit Super 30 Soccer Schools regularly to scout talent and offer elite coaching. Promising players from Super 30 will get first preference for spots in BFC’s youth teams, creating a direct pathway to one of India’s leading football clubs.

His vision was to bring the club’s professionalism and excellence to the Goan football scene, and this new partnership realizes that vision. The similar colors of both organizations represent their shared goals and philosophies.
Ricardo Cardozo discussed his vision: “I founded Super 30 Soccer Schools with the aim of providing young footballers with professional training from the grassroots level. Our journey has been one of continuous growth, with many players moving on to represent youth teams at various levels. This partnership with Bengaluru FC is a major milestone, offering a clear pathway for our top players to join BFC’s programs and potentially represent India on the international stage.”
Cardozo emphasized the importance of grassroots football in developing talent and improving the quality of players from Goa. He expressed confidence that with Bengaluru FC’s support, Super 30 Soccer Schools will continue to play a crucial role in advancing football in India.
