This page is about Goan achievers in the world of sports. Goa is a tiny region along the west coast of India, and is known for its many sportsmen. ==Other pages== *Goans in football *Goans in field hockey *Goans in cricket *Goans in athletics *Goans in watersports *Goans in racquet sports *Goans in combat sports ==Trivia== * The first Goan to have played for India in football, representing Goa, is Menino Figuereido who represented India on a goodwill tour of Russia in 1963. This tour is not considered an official tour and some say the first Goan to have represented India thus becomes Visitacao Lobo in 1970. Whichever way you look at it, both Menino Figuereido and Visitacao Lobo have played for India. * Goans have made a powerful and memorable mark in the sport in India, where it was virtually unknown earlier. Many have represented India by playing for Bombay and shining at the domestic level and thus earning international caps. * Bruno Coutinho, Mauricio Afonso, and Roberto Fernandes have captained the Indian senior national football team. Seby Antao and Lawrence Gomes have captained the junior Indian national soccer team. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Goans in sports」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
