FC Goa on Monday launched the 'Uzzo' jersey, the club’s official home kit for the 2020/21 season. The new home kit of the defending ISL league winners takes inspiration from ‘Uzzo’, the Konkani word for fire.
“Uzzo is not just a term in Konkani, but the war cry of all football lovers in Goa. The fearsome spirit of the fans has been the bedrock of success for the Gaurs and the catalyst that pushes the club in their aspiration to overcome even bigger challenges in the days to come. It’s a salutation from the stands, the call of Goa,” the club said in a press release.
“The current situation has seen sports take place globally without the presence of fans in the stands - the heart and soul of the sporting world. This season’s jersey is FC Goa’s tribute to its fans - a celebration of their spirit and support.”
The new home kit will be available for purchase at shop.fcgoa.in
FC Goa also launched the new official campaign for the upcoming season - #RiseAgain. The annual campaign, now an established tradition of the Gaurs, marks the official kick-off for the new season. The campaigns have helped bring the Goan community together and help highlight the rich football heritage of the State.
Over the years, ‘We Together’, ‘Now We Rise’, and ‘Be Goa’ have helped set the tone for the season ahead, bringing all the stakeholders of the club together.
‘Rise Again’ is a call not only to Goa’s favourite football team but also to the entire Goan community. The year has been an uphill battle for most as the COVID-19 pandemic ran rampage. The campaign aims to recognise the struggle of the community at large, as well as pay homage to the resilience of the human and Goan spirit.
