Fufa is making a strategic move to elevate women’s football by focusing on coaching development. The federation has set a target to equip 30 women coaches with CAF C licenses, a crucial step in professionalizing the sport.
This initiative aims to address a historical gap in high-level coaching qualifications for women in Uganda. By investing in these coaches, Fufa seeks to build a stronger foundation for women’s football, from grassroots to national teams.
The CAF C license is a fundamental qualification that allows coaches to lead teams at various levels, including youth and senior competitions. Obtaining this license will empower these women to take on more significant coaching roles and contribute to the technical advancement of the game.
This program is expected to not only enhance the skills of the participating coaches but also create more opportunities for women in football leadership. A wider base of qualified female coaches can inspire more girls to participate in the sport and ensure better development pathways for aspiring players.
Fufa’s commitment to this development signals a broader strategy to foster gender equality within the football ecosystem, ensuring that women have the necessary qualifications and support to thrive as coaches and mentors.
