DOHA GOANS SPORTS CLUB

INTRODUCTION

The Goan Associations  are found in every continent and the establishment of the DOHA GOANS SPORTS CLUB in Doha, Qatar is a sequel to the others.

BIRTH OF DOHA GOANS SPORTS CLUB

To break away from the shackles of sheer hard work, the Doha Goan  on this desert land  was looking for an oasis to quench his thirst for football  a game, which  is  very  dear  to the hearts of every Goan. Next  step lead to  the formation  of  two teams to participate in the 1984 - Expatriate Football League. Due to  restrictions at that time, our teams could not participate in the name of Doha Goans but used the sponsorís name: AIR INDIA WANDERERS AND COLTS. Both the teams secured the 3rd and 4th place amongst the 12 participating teams. It was this first kick-off that conceived the idea to form a Club.  The long cherished dream of every Goan on the land became  a reality when DOHA GOANS SPORTS  CLUB  was  born in  July 1985 with just 30 members. Slowly  and  steadily, our club  gained a large membership to reach almost 150 (most of them families) as of now.

Over the y e a r s, the Presidents changed and the activities expanded from  football to other sports and  social programmes to bring  our Goan families together from time to time.

MANAGING COMMITTEE 1999 - 2000

Each year an annual meeting of the member is called to elect the President and Vice-President for a term of one year. A Chairman, Mr. Mathew Estrocio  and a Lady President, Mrs. Lucy Fernandes who is actually at the  helm of affairs, heads our present Managing Committee.  She and her competent t e a m  puts  in whole-hearted effort to put up a successful itinerary keeping in mind the end benefit to all the supportive members.
