25 coaches have been selected for the CAF B-Licence Coaching Course which officially began in Abuja for the first batch of participants, BSNSports.com.ng reports. 

The inauguration ceremony was preformed by the President of the Nigeria Football Federation, Alhaji Ibrahim Musa Gusau (MON), at the NFF-FIFA Technical Centre inside the MKO Abiola National Stadium, Abuja.

The NFF boss expressed his delight at witnessing this significant milestone: “Today marks a moment of great joy for me,” he declared, emphasizing the importance of progress in Nigeria football. “This initiative has long been in the planning stages, and seeing it materialize today is incredibly fulfilling. It is also a pleasure to welcome coaches from other nations who are joining us for this vital training exercise.”

He commended the NFF Technical Department, led by Coach Augustine Eguavoen, for the diligence that went into the planning of the course, highlighting the collective effort involved. “I urge all participants to eschew all forms of distractions and fully immerse themselves in this learning experience,” he advised. “This is a great opportunity to improve yourselves. Before the end of this year, we intend to launch a CAF A-License programme, and I believe with the assiduity of the Technical Department, we will achieve this.”

NFF General Secretary, Dr Mohammed Sanusi, reiterated that the program will improve the quality of coaching in Nigeria football leagues, stressing that if the country does not have elite coaches, this handicap will adversely affect the performance of all our teams. 

“What we are trying to do is to create a situation whereby our coaches can imbibe modern methods and strategies, and of course, to be certified because if you do not have the B-License, you cannot be part of international competitions like the inter-club competitions.”
