CAF launched the new program to raise the caliber of goalkeeping coaching across the continent. The course will run until Saturday, December 9, 2023. It started on Saturday, December 2, 2023.
The curriculum was created to improve the technical skills of the teachers and develop leadership qualities so that they can instruct the next generation of goalkeepers in their home nations.
