PANJIM: The eagerly awaited ISL Hero trophy is scheduled to make its mark in the State on Friday.
The much coveted trophy will be formally unveiled in Goa at Hero Wheel Magnet Showroom, Porvorim where Armando Colaco former India coach, East Bengal and Dempo SC coach will lead the charge there. The showcasing of the trophy will then begin, as it will be ferried to the nooks and corners of the State from Friday, at HERO showroom, Porvorim, at 11a.m.
