All is set for the annual double-salvo FIFA Member Association courses for technical and physical fitness instructors, as well as for young talents in refereeing, with a total of 80 participants to undergo classroom and field drills from June 8 to 19 at the MKO Abiola National Stadium in Abuja, according to NigeriaSoccernet.com.
The programme for technical and physical fitness instructors, who are 40 in number, will commence on Monday, June 8, to bring Nigeria’s technical and physical fitness instructors up to speed with current trends, tendencies, and ideals, for them to imbibe global best practices in the refereeing business.
World football-governing body, FIFA, is sending Technical Instructor Ali Mohamed Ahmed, as well as Fitness Instructor Boubaker Hanachi, to superintend the programmes, alongside Nigerian instructors Felicia Okwugba, Peter Edibe, Emmanuel Imiere and Stella Emoji, and IT/Video Instructor Promise Uwaeme.
For the technical and physical fitness programme, participants will be taken through the course objectives, challenges and tactical fouls, and preparation for practical training on day one, with new law changes, tactical approach, handball, offside, penalty area incidents, and use of new FIFA red among other presentations. Practical training with referees and players will kick off each day’s programme.
For the young talents programme, there will be presentations on challenges and tactical fouls, penalty area incidents, modern refereeing, positioning and reading, fitness test analysis, among others.
The exercise for technical and physical fitness instructors will end on Friday, 13th June, exiting the stage for the Young Talents program that will last between 15th and 19th June, also inside the MKO Abiola National Stadium.
