Why the CAF Courses Matter
FKF noted that football continues to evolve, making quality coaching more important than ever.
“The quality of coaching on the training ground determines the quality of football fans see in stadiums,” the federation said.
The federation also highlighted CAF’s requirement that coaching licenses issued more than three years ago must be renewed through approved refresher courses.
As a result, the courses are expected to help coaches remain compliant with CAF regulations while supporting career growth and improving standards across Kenyan football.
