The Nigeria Football Federation has unveiled plans to organise a four-month CAF B-License Coaching Course.
The course is designed to enhance the capacity of Nigerian coaches and prepare them for current and future challenges. The programme is for both men and women coaches.
NFF Technical Director, Coach Augustine Eguavoen, said that the course is part of NFF’s strategic effort to build the capacity of coaches across the country and will be done in modules.
He said, “We are targeting a maximum number of 25 participants. Applicants will be provided with a CAF CMS registration link upon successful completion of the pre-course assessment and will pay the sum of N500,000 (five hundred thousand Naira only) on or before March 31, 2025.”
To be eligible to participate in the course that will run between 7th April and 25th August 2025, a candidate must be an active coach, possess a CAF C-License certificate that has been put to use in the past two years, be able to read and write in the English language, have basic computer skills and a laptop, have a valid G-mail account, and must submit a medical certificate that proves he/she is physically and mentally fit to undertake the course.
The NFF organised a CAF C-License programme exclusively for women—the first-ever—which drew 30 women coaches from across the country, including a good number of former Nigeria international players.
The three-module course took place between July and September 2024.
