The Stakes

FC Goa

FC Goa are actually set to play their first match of the 2025-26 season against Al-Seeb and it’ll be a challenging one for the Indian Super League (ISL) side. They earned a chance to qualify for the ACL Two by winning the 2025 Super Cup title, and Manolo Marquez aims to ensure that his side can get the job done.

FC Goa will need to take energy from their home support to produce an efficient and proactive performance, controlling the key areas properly and take up their chances ruthlessly.

A win for Goa will be a major boost for the Indian football scene as a whole, as it’ll help add another team to the ACL Two group stages alongside Mohun Bagan. A loss, however, would be a bitter start to the campaign for the Gaurs and cause an early setback they don’t want.

Al-Seeb

Al-Seeb are the reigning champions of the Oman Professional League and have won the league title in their country four times in the last six years. They boast some quality players and are representing their country in the Asian tournament, which makes this match an even bigger must-win one for them.

Al-Seeb will not be intimidated by the quality of the FC Goa players or their home-field advantage and aim to take the fight to them in this upcoming qualifier.

That means they’ll put up a tough fight and intimidate the Goa players with their slick attacking moves and defensive resolve. A win for Al-Seeb can be a statement of intent from the club to show how the Oman football season is evolving. A crushing loss, however, would be a setback for Al-Seeb’s hopes for fighting with the best in Asia.

Team News

FC Goa have been able to name a strong squad for this upcoming clash, with new signings Javier Siverio, David Timor and Pol Moreno all being named in the squad.

Al-Seeb are not missing any major players with injury troubles and will be able to bring their strongest squad to India for this one.
