About The Base

Goa's premium 5-a-side football arena, built by two brothers from Seraulim.

Shawn and Sherwyn Costa are two young brothers and sports enthusiasts from Seraulim, South Goa. Born into a family of football lovers, they have always dreamt of contributing to the development of youth sport in the state.

Their father, an ex-footballer for Salgaocar Sports Club, believed Goa's football needed better training facilities for its youth. Influenced by his beliefs, Shawn and Sherwyn set out to build one of the first futsal arenas in South Goa.
