The Football Kenya Federation (FKF) has rolled out countrywide Confederation of African Football (CAF) “C” License coaching courses.
The three weeks event, which started yesterday, is a follow up of the Basic/Advanced Basic coaching courses conducted for 2000 tacticians last year, and is in line with the FKF’s long term pledge to promote football development.
“When we were elected a year ago, we made a commitment to change the game by ensuring that we provide quality education for our coaches,” FKF president Nick Mwendwa said.
Nairobi, Coast, Nyanza and Western regions will be covered during the period, with the second phase set for November this year.
“It is our belief that this important course will not only help build capacity but also bridge a huge and sensitive gap that has in the past denied local coaches job opportunities both home and abroad,” Nick added.
A further 2000 candidates will be enrolled for the Basic/Advanced coaching courses this year, the federation disclosed.
Their target is to churn out a pool of local qualified coaches with CAF C, CAF B and CAF A licenses by the end of their 4-year mandate.
