fore front of conducting regular league matches in Goa. Goa is the first
ever Indian state to introduce professional football in the country. The
top five Goan football teams are Churchill Brothers Sports Club, Salgaokar
Sports Club, Dempo Sports Club, Vasco Sports Club and VLM Sports Club.
Goan Footballers have brought many a laurel to the state and the country
at national and international arena. Today there are 150 registered
football clubs and 3407 registered players in Goa. If you are a football
lover and in Goa, to know the latest happening, just get in touch with
Goa Football Association
2nd Floor, Padmavati Towers
18th June Road, Panaji
Goa - 403 001.
Trekking
Though Goan inland does not have high mountains, small or medium sizes
hills not exceeding a couple of thousand feet in height offer some chances
to go for a short trekking. Some old temples are also located on hilltop
and trekking the way up amidst a deep jungle is an enjoyable experience.
Golf
The Leela Beach and Ramada Renaissance, both in south Goa, have small
nine hole courses.
Bullfights
It doesnt pay to abe a matador in goa. Here, bullfights are between two
bulls, no matador needed. The fighting season starts around early October
and lasts till May. The most popular locations are in one of the villages
around Panjim like Taleigao (the most famous fights are held here), Santa
Cruz or Caranzalem. They are also held near and around Margao in south Goa
at the villages of Velsao and Benaulim. The fights usually begin around 4
pm, after siesta to the sound of taped Konkani music.
