Female coaches who took part in the CAF/ GFA Licence C Coaching course have expressed their gratitude to the Confederation of African Football (CAF) and the Ghana Football Association for nominating them for the course.
Thirty female coaches have been training at the Ghanaman Centre of Excellence at Prampram for the past two-months as part of efforts to increase the number of female coaches to close the gender gap.
The course, designed for female coaches who have already acquired the Basic Certificate in coaching (GFA License D) and have practiced coaching ended on Saturday, July 29, 2023.
The General Secretary, Prosper Harrison Addo (Esq.), was at the Technical Centre for the closing ceremony.
The CAF Licence C course was in two Modules; the first was for 10 days after which the participants went for 30 days mandatory internship and reported back for the second module.
The Director of Coaching Education, Professor Joseph Kwame Mintah, led the training with assistance and directives from Technical Director Bernhard Lippert, and other GFA/ CAF Instructors.
“I speak on behalf of my colleague coaches who took part in the course. We are very grateful to CAF and the GFA for nominating us for this sponsored CAF License C Coaching Course” course leader, Adelaide Adwoa Amofah, told ghanafa. org.
“Each one of us was carefully selected based on capacity and potential to impact Ghana football. We come from diverse backgrounds – coaches, football players, former national team Stars, club owners, administrators etc. but we all did have License D certificates’’.
“We feel privileged but we also feel the responsibility- to whom much is given, much is expected. Our situation is that we have only five License C female coaches in Ghana now. The number of female License C Coaches will increase by over five times in a few weeks, because we are confident that we will all be successful.”
