The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has initiated detailed plans to conduct a four-month CAF B-License Coaching Course aimed at improving the skills of Nigerian coaches and equipping them for both present and upcoming challenges. The program is designed for coaches of both genders. NFF Technical Director Coach Augustine Eguavoen informed the NFF.
The course is included in NFF’s strategic initiative to enhance the skills of coaches nationwide and will be conducted in modules. To qualify for the course scheduled from April 7 to August 25, 2025, a candidate must be an active coach, and hold a CAF C-License certificate that has been utilized within the last two years.
They should also be able to read and write in English, have basic computer skills and a laptop, possess a valid Gmail account, and submit a medical certificate confirming their physical and mental fitness for the course.
“We aim to have a maximum of 25 participants.” Candidates will receive a CAF CMS registration link after successfully finishing the pre-course assessment and are required to pay N500,000 (Five Hundred Thousand Naira Only) by 31st March 2025, according to Eguavoen.
Last year, the NFF held a CAF C-License program specifically for women, marking the first of its kind. It attracted 30 female coaches from various parts of the country, including several former Nigerian international players. The three-module course was held from July to September 2024.
