On September 16, 2026, the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) re-launched the CAF A-License Coaching Course in Abuja, a significant step in enhancing coaching education in Nigeria. The event featured top NFF officials, facilitators, and 25 participating coaches.
Dr Emmanuel Ikpeme, Acting General Secretary of the NFF, expressed gratitude to the Confederation of African Football (CAF) for reinstating Nigeria in the CAF A-License Convention, which had been absent for years. He urged the coaches to embrace learning to improve their technical and tactical skills.
H.E. Comrade Philip Shaibu, Director General of the National Institute for Sports, commended the NFF for reviving the program, noting that over 40,000 coaches in Nigeria lack certification.
