The Elite CAF Goalkeeping Course is a significant opportunity for local coaches to gain advanced expertise in goalkeeping techniques, training methodologies, and tactical understanding, empowering them to nurture and develop world-class talent within the country.

Additionally, this course will help develop coaching capacity. This initiative is part of FKF’s broader objective of improving coaching standards across all football levels, ensuring that coaches have the required credentials to nurture the next generation of footballers.
Furthermore, this will provide an opportunity for coaches to enhance their career. With this CAF certification, coaches will not only gain valuable knowledge but also position themselves for greater opportunities both locally and internationally.
