The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), have finalised arrangements to launch extensive train-the-trainers coaching programmes, including a CAF B-License refresher course and a six-module CAF A-License course.
CAF B-License refresher course is to take place from June 20th – 24th, 2026, while a six-module CAF A-License course that will span seven months will hold between August 2nd – 7th February, 2027.
The initiative, which is aimed at elevating the technical standard of football coaching across the country, represents a significant step forward in the NFF’s commitment to continuous capacity building.
It will ensure that local tacticians are equipped with modern elite-level football methodologies.
“This is part of the NFF’s strategic effort to build the capacity of coaches across the country,” stated NFF Technical Director, Augustine Eguavoen.
“It will be recalled that Nigeria was recently admitted back into the CAF A-License convention after nine years of being out of the pool.”
An interested participant must be an active coach at the elite level (National Teams, NPFL, NNL, NWFL and NLO), possess a CAF B diploma, must be able to read and write in the English language, have access to a laptop/tablet for the duration of the programme.
The participant must also be computer-literate, possess a medical certificate demonstrating physical and mental fitness to participate, and must submit curriculum vitae and reference letter.
