In a virtual address, Goa Chief Minister, Pramod Sawant, said: “Goa has been primarily known as a tourist destination, but it is set to become a sports hub soon. Last year, Goa successfully hosted numerous national and international sporting events. Recently, under the guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the National Games were held in Goa, which saw more than 10,000 athletes participate across 43 disciplines. Goa also achieved its highest medal tally of 92.”
