FUFA Technical Director Ali Mwebe has highlighted the importance of practical learning and sports science integration as the second module of the CAF B Coaching Course came to a close at the FUFA Technical Centre in Njeru.
Addressing participants at the end of the training, Mwebe confirmed that the 25 coaches who took part will now return to their clubs for a 60-day internship.
“We are sending the coaches back to their respective clubs for internship. During this time, they will implement tasks assigned by the course instructors,” he said.
Following the internship, coaches will return to Njeru for modules four and five, each with 40 hours of direct engagement with instructors.
Mwebe noted that the final phase will include both theory and practical exams, designed to test the application of what they’ve learned.
Mwebe also emphasised the growing role of technology in modern football. “Today the coaches were introduced to the use of Catapult technology—a key tool in modern football performance analysis,” he said.
He praised FUFA’s leadership for making sports science a priority and called on coaches to embrace the data-driven approach.
“The FUFA President and Executive have invested heavily in sports science. However, it’s important that our elite coaches are educated on how to interpret and apply the data collected through such technology,” Mwebe said.
“This integration of science and technical knowledge is essential to producing the kind of coaches our country needs.”
The CAF B Coaching Course is part of FUFA’s broader plan to strengthen coaching standards across the country, giving players structured guidance and development at all levels.
