Nigeria has been admitted into the Confederation of African Football, CAF, Grade A Coaching Convention.
CAF’s Coaching Education Project Manager, Jaida Zakaria gave the approval in a letter addressed to the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF.
CAF had previously approved the D, C and B coaching courses for the NFF.
The NFF waited for nine years to get approval from CAF to hold the CAF A coaching courses in the country.
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.”
The NFF is now expected to put logistics in place for the commencement of the programme.
