History

The erstwhile state council of sports, renamed the Sports Authority of Goa has since its inception been rendering commendable service for the development of sports and games in Goa.

Lusofonia Games

The Goa Olympic Association won hosting rights for the 3rd edition of the Lusofonia Games from the ACOLOP to be held from 18–29 January 2014. The task of development of sports infrastructure and organization of this international sporting event lies with the Sports Authority of Goa.

The sports infrastructure in the state is said to get a major boost by June 2013 for the hosting of the Lusofonia Games. Construction of new sports complexes of international standards has been proposed and the fatorda sports complex (which includes the Fatorda Stadium) is set to get a multi-crore revamp for these games.

Administration

The Sports Authority of Goa is currently headed by Shri.V.M.PrabhuDesai.
