We had a successful partnership last season and we will continue to support each other in the years to come," said FC Goa Commercial Director Aditya Datta.

"From the first day, FC Goa has made an effort to create a brand that delivers through the strength of continuity, which has been evident in policy of retention in terms of our players and coaching staff. It is now further fortified by Kingfisher's continued association with us," he added.

Gurpreet Singh, Divisional Vice-President (Marketing), United Breweries Limited shared Datta's views, "We have had a fruitful year long association with the FC Goa team and we look forward to building on this relationship for years to come. Over the years the Goans have thought of our brand as their own and similarly they recognize FC Goa as their own team, therefore making this association a natural fit.

"Football in India has grown over the years and has expanded its presence over a large audience, this renewal of our standing association with the FC Goa team will further help us to bring the Good Times to the local fanbase here.
