History
[edit]Kingfisher sponsoring
[edit]In 2009, the Goa Football Association agreed to a deal with giants Kingfisher to rename the Duler Stadium to the Kingfisher Stadium, but in January 2009, the land owners protested, as the stadium belongs to the Mapusa Communidade.[12]
Renovation
[edit]In 2012, the Goa Football Association approved revamping the Duler Stadium by adding a new AstroTurf.[13] On 10 June it was announced that FIFA had officially approved the move,[13] as part of the Win in India with India program.[2]
