CAF Grants License A Coaching Course Approval to GFA

The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has received approval from CAF. They can now offer Licence “A” Coaching Courses in Ghana. This aligns with CAF’s updated coaching framework.

This approval is a significant achievement for the GFA Technical Directorate. It follows extensive preparation and updates to the curriculum.

The CAF A Licence program will be held at the Ghanaman Soccer Centre of Excellence in Prampram. Each session will have a maximum of 20 participants. Candidates must hold a CAF B Licence and have two years of experience. They also need proof of active coaching, club documentation, and a personal motivation statement. Preference will be given to full-time coaches from Ghana’s top leagues, regional associations, and national teams.

Final selections will be made after interviews. The year-long course includes four residential modules and a 120-day internship. It covers advanced topics like tactics, game analysis, positional coaching, and player management. This training prepares coaches for senior roles and future eligibility for the CAF Pro License.
