FC Goa launched its home kit for the 2019-20 Indian Super League season at the Bambolim Athletic Ground, with club co-owner and captain of the Indian national cricket team Virat Kohli being a part of the ceremony.

The new jersey is completely orange, which finds familiarity in the state renowned for its beaches and picturesque sunsets. The transition represents the evolution of the cub in the past few years whilst the gradient moving upwards on the design embodies the aim for better days ahead.

Speaking at the event, Kohli said, "The team is in great shape. They have been doing brilliantly the last two seasons with the Super Cup win it was just another validation of the process.”

“What is really amazing is the work that goes on beyond the first team. The youth structure is firmly in place and the club is looking to be trailblazers in youth development and grassroots. In terms of philosophy, style of play and success, I am happy where we are at, but we can’t afford to be myopic in Indian football. There is still a long way to go and we aim to be the face of change in Indian football."
