History
The Bandodkar Gold Trophy was the first major cup tournament hosted by the GFA, aided by the then Chief Minister Dayanand Bandodkar who donated the trophy. Apart from some top clubs from Goa, clubs from other Indian states and abroad, also have participated in this competition. Dempo SC has won the tournament for a record eight times,[5] while Salgaocar FC won the last major edition held in 1992.[6] [7]
In 2016, the historic tournament was revived as an invitational u-21 Men's football tournament[8] [9] and was held at Duler Stadium in Goa.[6] [10] The edition was won by FC Pune City (R) defeating the local side Dempo SC.[11]
In 2024, the GFA announced that the tournament is scheduled to be revived in the 2024 season with backing from the Government of Goa.[12]
