Super Cup champion FC Goa, on Thursday, announced its squad for its match against Al Seeb in the preliminary round of the AFC Champions League Two (ACL 2).
FC Goa secured a spot in Asia after winning the Super Cup under coach Manolo Marquez, and have already completed their quota of foreign signings this summer, bringing in David Timor, Pol Moreno and Javier Siverio.
The club also extended the contract of Marquez, who parted ways with the men’s national team before committing to the Indian Super League (ISL) side.
“I am very satisfied to join FC Goa for a third season. I was very happy during the previous two seasons, where the team showed consistent improvement each year.
The level of organisation that the club operates with is not commonly observed in Indian club football, making FC Goa a very special club,” Márquez said, “It was clear for me that if I were to continue in India, it had to be with FC Goa.”
Goa will face Al Seeb from Oman on August 13 and, depending on the result, will play in the ACL 2 of the AFC Challenge League.
