In a huge step towards attracting fans to watch football at Fatorda stadium, FC Goa has slashed ticket prices for the upcoming Indian Super League match against Mumbai City FC on October 19. This step was taken due to the worst ticket sales and crowd attendance for the past two matches.
The club has now introduced tickets at ₹49 for the two stands (North lower stand & South Lower stand), a huge reduction from the previously priced tickets at ₹199. The new ticket prices North/South Upper: ₹99, East Lower: ₹199, East Upper: ₹299, West Upper: ₹399 are the lowest since ISL matches were first played at the Nehru Stadium in Fatorda.
The decision to bring change in ticket prices came about after discussions focused on reviving Goan football during the GFDC Football Summit 2024 in Margao.
FC Goa released a statement which said, “We’ve listened to valuable recommendations and felt the shared determination of all stakeholders to steer Goan football back to its roots and potential. As a club deeply embedded in Goa’s heart, FC Goa has always strived to reflect the spirit, talent, and passion of this vibrant community. Intentions are essential, but actions are what truly drive change. For the past decade, FC Goa has strived to be a beacon for football in the state, and we believe it’s our responsibility to lead by example, inspiring a shift in how football is experienced here,”
