Football is a game much loved all over the world. In Goa too football is enjoyed by young and old alike. Our El Shaddai children not only enjoy watching the game but they enjoy playing it at every given opportunity. It was a dream come true when we registered our club with Goa Football Association in the name of ‘El Shaddai Sports & Cultural Club’. Mr Jose Roberto Mendes, a professional in the field of sports and an experienced manager of football club from Brazil has taken the initiative to develop our Academy. He was instrumental in setting up the Brazilian Football Academy in Goa along with Brazil’s football players Beto & Baretto. Mr Valentine Ezeugo, a gifted professional footballer also from Brazil have been training the U-14 boys under the guidance of Mr Jose. They together are currently training the players on the nuances of soccer and are shaping the team into a formidable force.

Our ultimate dream is to set up a professional football academy in Goa, the land where football lovers are born.  Once we have the academy we will start coaching camps for different age group children. We also plan to provide the best facilities for the children in the academy where they will blossom into talented footballers who will represent in state and national tournaments.

Our team has the desire to be one of the best participating teams in the upcoming tournament.  At the moment due to lack of sufficient funds, we are not able to provide all the needs for the players. We are on the lookout for like minded people who will support us in building the young team of promising players for the future of the sports. El-Shaddai has a dream to see a competent football team blossoming from within. Apart from our very own children we will also throw open the coaching classes for children in the surrounding villages.

We would therefore like to appeal to all our football lovers to donate generously towards a cause that is dear to our children and will be remembered for a long time to come.
