40 Liberian Coaches Receive CAF Certificates

The Liberia Football Association is expected to kickoff its national league here with 40 ‘C’ Certificate coaches in compliance with the Confederation of African Football (CAF’s) recommendation

A release from the local football house says the LFA has met CAF’s standards, with 40 of its coaches successfully completing a CAF-sponsored training here in October.

The course, conducted by veteran Ghanaian tactician Prof. Fred Osam Duodu, brought together 40 participants from the various local leagues under the LFA. The training lasted for five days, covering both theoretical and practical exercises. In its quest to enhance football development in the country, the LFA is striving to harmonize standards for coaches.

The football house under the leadership of Musa Bility promised to explore all avenues to improve the capacity of athletes and other football officials, including referees, coaches, medics and administrators, among others.

The training was in fulfillment of CAF’s requirements that a minimum of “C” license be acquired by local coaches to meet its standards for coaching duties in CAF leagues. Meeting a cardinal CAF requirement just a week to the commencement of the 2011/2012 national Cellcom league is a boast for the Bility Administration.

Beneficiaries of the training include: Gborboe T. Glinwon, Abraham S. Williams, George G. Doe Sr., M. Kennedy Musue, Jenkins S. Doe, Matth
