FC Goa will look to carry their domestic form into continental competition when they take on Saudi heavyweights Al Nassr FC in a vital AFC Champions League Two Group D encounter at the Al Awwal Park in Riyadh on November 5.
Fresh from a spirited campaign in the AIFF Super Cup, where they notched impressive wins against Jamshedpur FC and Inter Kashi before a narrow defeat to Northeast United FC, the Gaurs arrive with confidence and rhythm. Their performances have reflected a side growing in cohesion and belief under head coach Manolo Marquez.
For the Spanish tactician, the focus now shifts to securing FC Goa’s first points in the continental tournament. Despite the results not fully going their way so far, the Indian side have shown flashes of quality, pressing with intent, creating chances, and showing resilience against stronger opposition. Their previous meeting with Al Nassr remains a special memory, as Brison Fernandes etched his name in history by scoring India’s first-ever goal in the competition’s group stage.
However, the challenge in Riyadh will be immense. Al Nassr, led by multiple-time Ballon d’Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo, enter the fixture after a mixed run in domestic action. They exited the King’s Cup to Al Ittihad but bounced back with a league win over Al Fayha. With stars like Sadio Mane, Marcelo Brozovic, and Aymeric Laporte in their ranks, the Saudi club remains a daunting opponent.
Meanwhile, Marquez believes this game is more than just a contest, it’s an opportunity to showcase Indian football’s growth.
