FC Goa Sign Young Defenders Rudra Ved Moola and Saveme Tariang
FC Goa are delighted to announce the signings of Rudra Ved Moola and Saveme Tariang ahead of the 2026–27 season, further strengthening the Club’s defensive unit with two promising young talents. Centre-back Rudra Ved Moola joins the Gaurs after impressing with his composure, defensive awareness, and ability to build play from the back.

A commanding presence in defence, Rudra brings maturity beyond his years and adds depth to FC Goa’s backline. Joining him is Saveme Tariang, a versatile left-back known for his pace, energy, and attacking intent down the flank. Comfortable contributing at both ends of the pitch, Saveme’s work rate and defensive discipline make him an exciting addition to the squad. The duo reflects FC Goa’s continued commitment to investing in young Indian talent and building a squad capable of competing at the highest level while nurturing the next generation of footballers. Commenting on the signing of Rudra Ved Moola, Lokesh Bherwani, Director of Football, FC Goa, said: “We are delighted to welcome Rudra to FC Goa. He is a player with strong experience, including valuable exposure to football in Spain, which has helped shape his understanding of the game. We believe he will be a crucial part of our defence this season, bringing composure, quality, and consistency to the backline. We are excited to have him with us and look forward to seeing him make a significant contribution to the team’s success.” On the arrival of Saveme Tariang, Lokesh added: “We are delighted to welcome Saveme to FC Goa. He is an exciting young full-back who joins us after an impressive season with Shillong Lajong. We have been following his progress closely, and his performances have shown that he has the quality, work ethic, and potential to develop even further. We believe FC Goa is the right environment for him to continue his growth, and we look forward to seeing him make a strong contribution to the team in the seasons ahead.” Head Coach Gouramangi Singh added: “We’re really happy with both signings and feel very positive about what Rudra and Saveme will bring to the squad. They are young, hardworking players with plenty of quality and the right attitude to improve every day. Both have shown a strong desire to learn, and we believe FC Goa is the ideal environment for them to develop and reach their full potential. We’re excited to work with them and are confident they’ll make a positive contribution to the team.” Speaking after joining the Club, Rudra Ved Moola said: “Goa is a place that is rooted in football, and FC Goa has honoured that in the highest form by creating one of the most successful clubs, academies and fan bases across the country. It’s a true privilege and blessing to have the Club place their faith in me, and I’ll do my best to repay that. I can’t wait to give everything for the badge and meet the fans.” Saveme Tariang said: “From the moment I started playing football, I always dreamt of playing in the Indian Super League, and I’m happy that FC Goa has given me this opportunity. One thing I can promise is that I will shed my blood, sweat and tears for this Club. I come from Shillong, where we bleed football, and I will be delighted to make the football-crazy Goans happy with my performances here. Forca Goa!” Everyone at FC Goa extends a warm welcome to Rudra and Saveme and wishes them every success in Orange.
