FC Goa have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with three clubs from the North East region in a ceremony held in Shillong recently. FC Goa, represented by Sujay Sharma, Head of Player Recruitment and Analysis agreed a partnership with Mawkhar Sports Club, Mawlai Sports Club and Royal Wahingdoh Sports Club wherein the Goan club will offer technical expertise to the aforementioned clubs while in return, will have the option to sign players from these clubs in the future for a fixed fee. The memorandum was signed following a brief presentation by each of the three clubs.
Question is why they didn't. Tying up with a club from Goa surely would have given them more goodwill and publicity currency than some faraway unknown entities.

Mawlai has yo-yo up and down the Shillong Premier League and although it has a ground amd some good players it has no youth set up.
Royal Wahingdoh FC is no longer the club that was when they finished 3rd in I-League 2015
The owner has shifted resources to Shillong United who have already tied up with NEUFC
All this is just an effort by Sujay Sharma to justify his Job title.
Had they focussed on tying up with some clubs in South Goa and some in Bardez area they would reap more rewards ; both on and off the field.
A young player from Bardez recently said he would rather join DEMPO or SALGAOCAR
