The stadium hosts I-League and Indian Super League matches.

It is also set to host some of the practice matches of the FIFA Under-17 World Cup.

The authorities concerned should ensure that such an incident does not occur during World Cup matches.

Locals of the area say this is a recurring situation at the stadium.

As the stadium is set to host Under-17 World Cup practice matches, foreign players will come to play there.

It is a matter of prestige not only for Goa but the whole country.

A bad incident such as this will tarnish the image not only of the state but the entire country.
