History
Sesa Football Academy is the successor of Sesa Sports Club, which was originally founded on 4 September 1960. In 1988, British coach Bob Bootland took charge of Sesa. SFA was later established in 1999 with a vision of becoming a premier academy in India, producing footballers for the Indian national team from the state of Goa. The academy identifies talented youngsters with the passion for football, inducts them into the residential program at the academy, and over a period of four years nurtures and develops them as professional footballers and well-disciplined citizens.
The academy's activities have yielded positive results – seven SFA alumni have played for the national team, and eight players took part in the latest edition of the Indian Super League. Some notable alumni include Adil Khan, Denzil Franco, Micky Fernandes, and Pratesh Shirodkar.
Till date, more than 150 players have benefited from SFA's programs, out of which some have played internationally and many others have represented various prestigious clubs of the country. The team was later managed by legendary Indian coach Armando Colaco. Nigerian Clifford Chukwuma also managed SESA.
