Newly appointed chairman of the Goa Football Development Council (GFDC), Brahmanand Sankhwalkar has stated that he wants to see more Goans playing for the Indian national team.
Speaking to Prudent Media, Sankhwalkar has informed that children who enroll with GFDC will enjoy football and come to know the value of life.
Sankhwalkar has stated that he will seek cooperation from clubs like Dempo SC, Salgaocar FC, Sporting Clube de Goa and Churchill Brothers for the benefit of the children.
The GFDC was conceptualized by former Chief Minister of Goa, late Manohar Parrikar, when he had declared football as the state sport in July 2012. The council since then was led by Dr. Rufino Monteiro who stepped down as chairman in November 2018.
The current 11-member council committee of GFDC will be led by Shankhwalkar as chairman, Shrikant Ajgaonkar as vice-chairman and Aleixo da Costa as the member secretary. Avertano Furtado, Bruno Coutinho, Lector Mascarenhas, Agnelo Fonseca, Shantaram Naik, Stanislaus D’Souza, Sanjiv Nagvenkar and Pradeep Chodankar will form the council committee of the GFDC council.
