Nagoa Ground is a football stadium located in Mapusa, Goa, India.[4][5] Dempo, Salgaocar, and Sporting Goa used the venue for most of their home games.[6][7] It also serves as home ground for other Goa Professional League clubs.[8][9][10][11]

History

Kingfisher sponsoring

In 2009 the Goa Football Association agreed to a deal with giants Kingfisher to rename the Duler Stadium to the Kingfisher Stadium, but in January 2009 the land owners protested, as the stadium belongs to the Mapusa Communidade.[12]

Renovation

In 2012 the Goa Football Association approved revamping the Duler Stadium by adding a new AstroTurf.[13] On 10 June it was announced that FIFA had officially approved the move,[13] as part of the Win in India with India program.[3]
