FC Goa’s foreign players and the head trainer will stop their Asian Champions League stretches to get back as India battles with a monstrous flood in Covid-19 cases, the club said on Thursday.
Goa, in the Asian Champions League, has failed to advance with three points from five matches up until now and close their Group E games against second-set Al Wahda on Thursday.
“FC Goa would like to inform that the club’s foreign contingent including the Head Coach and foreign staff have been advised to travel back home immediately,” the club said in a statement.
The club posted it on Twitter.
Club statement: Our foreign contingent including the Head Coach & staff have been advised to travel back home as a pre-emptive measure in view of recent policies being taken by European & other countries in regards to travellers from India.#ForcaGoa

“While the AFC Champions League stays a significant rivalry for FC Goa, the club felt the prosperity of the players to be its most important obligation.”
