history
The first club in Goa, called the Sporting Clube , was founded under Portuguese colonial administration in the early 1950s , with reference to the Portuguese top club Sporting Lisbon , which dominated football in Portugal in the 1940s and 50s. In 1956, Vice President José de Abreu Theriaga was the first official of the Portuguese association to visit the namesake in Portuguese India . The president of the Sporting Clube de Goa at the time was the engineer Fernando de Castro, while Matos Sequeira was vice-president. Sporting won the championship of Portuguese India once before, with the end of the Portuguese colonial administration in 1961 and the integration of Goa into the Indian Union, a wave of emigration began among the Portuguese of Goa and the Sporting Clube in Goa was also given up.
In 1999, a group of citizens around the two young entrepreneurs Peter Vaz and Edgar Afonso took over the "Hotel Cidade de Goa" association, which was being dissolved, and renamed it the Sporting Clube de Goa . Since then, the club has been run as a subsidiary of Sporting Lisbon with the serial number 114. The club's coat of arms has also been evidence of this liaison since that year and is essentially identical to that of the Portuguese club.
In 2004 they were promoted to the first Indian league, in which the club played for the championship. On the last day of the match, the SCC lost to local rivals Dempo Sports Club and so gave up the championship. The team was involved in a tragic bus accident in the same year in which four players from the sports club were killed.
The 2013/14 season closed the club in fifth place in the I-League .
