The Confederation of African Football has admitted Nigeria back into the CAF A Coaching Convention, meaning that the Nigeria Football Federation can again resume the activation of CAF A coaching courses after years of waiting and high expectations on the part of the country’s coaching family.
“We are pleased to inform you that the CAF A course curriculum submitted by NFF has been approved.
“You can now proceed with submitting a request for a CAF A course through the CMS, subject to an inspection visit,” CAF’s Coaching Education Project Manager, Jaida Zakaria wrote in a letter to the NFF on Wednesday.
NFF’s Head of Coaching Education, Dr Terry Babatunde Eguaoje, was exultant: “This is truly huge, after nine years! Admission into the CAF A coaching convention is a big deal. This is in addition to the CAF D, C and B that had been approved at various times by CAF.”
NFF General Secretary, Dr Mohammed Sanusi, himself a CAF coaching instructor, said: “We are elated by this positive development for the cause of coaching in our country. The NFF will commence preparations in earnest to put logistics in place for the first CAF A-License coaching course in this country since 2017.”
