Goalkeepers in Indian club football typically come up through state-level academies, club youth systems, or national developmental programmes such as the AIFF Elite Academy. The position has historically been a competitive one within the Indian national team setup, with shortlists drawn from players active in the top tier of domestic football.
Gomes has played in India's senior club competitions, where goalkeepers are often rotated between league campaigns, cup tournaments such as the Durand Cup and Super Cup, and continental qualifying fixtures organised under the Asian Football Confederation.
Indian club football is administered by the All India Football Federation (AIFF). The two principal leagues during Gomes's active years have been the Indian Super League (ISL), launched in 2014, and the I-League, which served as the top division from 2007 before being restructured. Goalkeepers in this system frequently move between clubs across cities such as Kolkata, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Goa, and Kochi.
As a domestically developed goalkeeper, Gomes is part of a generation of Indian players who have featured in the professional era of Indian football following the consolidation of the league pyramid by the AIFF.
