The Youth Football Educators Course began on Wednesday 13th, December, 2023, at FUFA Technical Centre Njeru, where 38 participants turned up for the course.
Uganda Youth Football Associations chairman, Roberts Kiwanuka, welcomed the participants and instructors who came from the Netherlands and said it is an honour for youth football coaches to be taking part in this course.
He wished them the best of luck on this journey and called on participants to make the best of this opportunity.
FUFA Technical Director, Ali Mwebe, said that the course was warmly embraced by the federation because the country has not been doing well in coach educators.
“The Federation (FUFA) embraced this course because we have not been doing well in the area of coaches’ educators. We don’t have enough and quality, very few are top-level with the numbers also not enough with some regions almost having no resident educator”.
“This course will give them a chance to have their abilities, qualities, and skills identified. They will not become FUFA Coaches educators right away, but we will identify skills”.
“We believe this is a wonderful development working with Uganda Youth Football Associations.” Stated, Ali Mwebe, FUFA Technical Director.
Mark Schuurman from Netherlands is the chief instructor of the course and will be assisted by Ernesto Tunga and Kevin Kanu from Sparta Rotterdam.
The course will climax on Sunday 17th, December 2023.
