Sporting Clube de Goa is a sports club based in the Indian state of Goa. It is renowned for its football team built on the lines of Portuguese giants Sporting Clube de Portugal and adopting a similar club crest.

The club "Cidade de Goa" (Portuguese for City of Goa) was purchased by Sporting's current owners and renamed as Sporting Clube de Goa in 1999.

Sporting made its debut in the 2003-04 season of the Indian Nationall Football League Premier Division, and were on the verge of winning their first league championship but lost out on the last day when Dempo Sports Club pipped them to the title. Their season was marred by a horrific bus accident which ruled out 4 key players for the whole season, while several others were injured. However, led by Nigerian import Dudu Omagbemi, they managed to complete their matches in a very short span of time after being given a few weeks off so that their players could recover, and heroically came second ahead of traditional powerhouses East Bengal, Mohun Bagan, Salgaocar and Mahindra United.
