Somalia come of age, as Somali instructors conduct CAF “C” license course

Somalia come of age, as Somali instructors conduct CAF “C” license course

01 (10)
For the first time in history, Somalia has been able to successfully hold
its CAF “C” license coaching course, with qualified Somali instructors
conducted the course, while previously the African football governing body
[CAF] had sent foreign instructors to teach Somali coaches.

A total of 24 coaches were awarded with the CAF “C” License certificates
after successfully passing both practical and theory sessions.

Somali instructors: Awil Ismail Mohamed and Mohamed Abdulle Farayare were
teaching at the course which was held at the SFF headquarters in the
capital Mogadishu.

Both Somali instructors gained their CAF “A” Licenses in 2014 and were
given the go ahead as CAF instructors by the African Football governing
body [CAF] and with their promotion to this level, Somalia seems to be
recovering.

Somali Football Federation senior vice president, Ali Abdi Mohamed, who
addressed at the closing ceremony for the course this week, said that his
country has now come of age and was hopeful that the number of qualified
Somali instructors will increase in the years to come.

“Now we have two Somali experts who have successfully done this CAF level
coaching course—We are now hopeful that Somalia will soon have its FIFA
level instructors and I am sure that will happen because Somalia’s
knowledge and experience of football is growing” said the senior vice
president who congratulated the graduates on their gaining of the CAF “C”
license certificates.

Meanwhile, Somalia had already one CAF refereeing instructor, Ali Mohamed
Ahmed.
