CoPlay is a network of owned and operated sports centres — built to deliver a world-class, professionally managed sporting experience at scale across India.
CoPlay Porvorim Gymkhana is our flagship government-partnership venue in Goa — a full-scale multi-sport complex operated under a tender from the state government. The facility includes 3 swimming pools, badminton courts, a gym, squash courts, football ground, pickleball courts, cricket nets, hockey turf, a banquet hall, and a restaurant. This is one of CoPlay's most complex and prestigious sites.
The General Manager is the on-ground commander for the entire Porvorim Gymkhana complex. You own everything — the facility runs because of you. From ensuring the pools are clean at 6 AM to closing the books at the end of the month, you are accountable for operations, people, revenue, and the experience delivered to every member and guest who walks through the gates.
This is not a desk job. It calls for someone who is respected in the Goa community, fluent in the local language and culture, and experienced in running large, multi-function facilities where no two days look the same.
