NFF Technical Director Austin Eguavoen has announced that the CAF B licensing program is slated to begin on April 7th. The initial module will run for one month, during which CAF will evaluate and grade the participants based on their performance.

Eguavoen explained that the current session is centralized in Abuja. However, plans are already in place to extend the program across Nigeria’s six geopolitical zones in subsequent rounds. “After the first module, we will give them more just to harmonize the results and fill in everything, while CAF continues with their marking and then categorizes who passed with excellence, who came up with only pass, who came up with credit and all that.
Then, one month later, we do the second batch, which we will now take to regions. This one is central now, in Abuja. So after this, we will go to South-South, we go to South-West, North-Central, North-East, North-West. By so doing, instead of only this 25 now, we are teaching or educating more than a hundred coaches at a go,” he said.
This phased approach is expected to greatly increase the number of Nigerian coaches who can benefit from CAF’s structured licensing process, significantly boosting the quality of coaching across the country.
