For several years the Salcete Football Club has been the nursery of football in Goa. Since its foundation in 1980 it has provided platform for many young players to improve and display their talent. Mauricio Afonso, Climax Lawrence & Roberto Fernandes are among their few ex-players who have captained the Indian national team. Many of Dempo SC's first team players like Climax Lawrence, Clifford Miranda, Anthony Pereira, Joaquim Abranches etc. have honed their skills at Salcete FC. Similar programmes were launched by the club in 1995 which were also very successful.
