MARGAO: The Sports Authority of Goa (SAG) on Wednesday warned FC Goa that they would not be allowed to play next Indian Super League match at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, Fatorda scheduled on November 11 if they fail to pay the dues of Rs 1.67 crore.
“FC Goa, which is hosting home matches for ISL has to pay Rs 1.67 crore as a fee for usage of Fatorda stadium. We have already communicated to them that the next match would not be allowed, if they don’t pay the dues,” SAG Executive Director V M Prabhudesai told Herald.
Prabhudesai said the fees that are due to be paid are of the matches played during current ISL season.
“The fees of the past ISL season have been cleared,” he said.
“The fees for usage of the stadium have to be cleared on time without any delay,” he said.
In recent past, South District Police had raised the bill of Rs 3.80 crore, which was due to be paid by FC Goa.
Goa Police had even refused to provide security for the first ISL match held on October 8.
The security was provided after the intervention of Chief Minister Laxmikant Parsekar.
Despite repeated attempts, FC Goa could not be reached for comments.
