The Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, has concluded arrangements for CAF coaching courses aimed at upgrading qualifications for coaches in the Nigeria Premier Football League, NPFL, and other elite divisions.
The CAF B-License refresher course will run from Saturday June 20th-24th 2026.
The CAF A-License course will be delivered in six modules over seven months from August Sunday 2nd 2026, to Tuesday February 7th, 2027, giving NPFL and NNL coaches a pathway to meet continental standards.
“This is part of the NFF’s strategic effort to build the capacity of coaches across the country,” NFF Technical Director Augustine Eguavoen said.
It would be recalled that Nigeria was recently readmitted to the CAF A-License convention after nine years outside the program.
Eligible applicants include active elite-level coaches working in the NPFL, NNL, NWFL, NLO and with national teams.
Candidates must hold a CAF B diploma, be able to read and write in English, be computer literate with access to a laptop or tablet, and provide a medical certificate, curriculum vitae and reference letter.
Twenty-five coaches who pass pre-assessment tests and the B-License refresher will receive a CAF CMS link to begin the A-License program.
