Mario Fernandes, the General Manager of tourism portal Goan Tourism, is confident Zico can draw in fans.

The former Seleção international will take charge of FC Goa for the inaugural Indian Super League season and Fernandes hopes he can benefit tourism in the area.

“We are banking on the fact that football lovers from Kolkata, other metros and elsewhere in the country are keen on watching Zico, who is a world football legend, in action,” stated Fernandes, as reported by The Hindu.

“We have received enquiries about tickets, that’s why we came up with the special ISL package. For now we are offering 10 to 15 percent discount on game tickets and season tickets. The package includes airfare as well.”

The 2014 ISL season starts in October. FC Goa will play their home matches at the Jawarharlal Nehru Stadium, while Robert Pirès is the club’s marquee player.
