PANAJI: The club FC Goa released a statement on Monday about its 27-person team for the Hero Indian Super League 2022-23.
Carlos Pena, who used to play for FC Goa and was part of the teams that won the Super Cup in 2019 and the ISL League Winners' Shield in 2020, is now the head coach of the Gaurs. Gouramangi Singh, Gorka Azkorra, Joel Dones, and Eduard Carrera are also on the coaching staff and help him out.
There are 27 players on the Gaurs' team, and 10 of them are from Goa. This league season, 10 Goan players will wear the team's famous orange jersey.
FC Goa's team for the season includes six foreign players, one of whom is from an AFC member country. This is what the ISL rules say must happen. The league rules say that each team must have at least four U23 players, but the Gaurs have nine U23 players on their team.
Six players from FC Goa's Developmental Team namely, Hrithik Tiwari, Leander D'Cunha, Saviour Gama, Lesly Rebello, Princeton Rebello, and Lalremruata HP, made it to the main team for the ISL 2022–23. Two of them, Lesly and Lalremruata, have been given new jobs because of how well they've done on the Dev Team over the past few years.
Arshdeep Singh and Alvaro Vazquez are also new to the team, but they have both played in the ISL before with Odisha FC and Kerala Blasters, respectively.
All of the club's new players namely Arshdeep Singh, Fares Arnaout, Marc Valiente, Ayush Chhetri, Noah Sadaoui, Iker Guarrotxena, and Alvaro Vazquez, are expected to make their ISL debuts this season.
