Africa-Press – Lesotho. The Zimbabwe Football Association (ZIFA) hosted a transformative CAF C Refresher Course at the ZIFA Village from 13 to 17 October 2025, marking a vital milestone in the football education and coaching development pathway.
The programme brought together nineteen (19) coaches from various clubs, academies, and institutions, under the direct guidance of FIFA and CAF educators, in a five-day programme that blended practical training sessions with theoretical modules.
Each morning was dedicated to on-field tactical exercises, focusing on team structure, ball progression, and conditioning, whilst the afternoons delved into theoretical sessions that included modern coaching methodology, match analysis, player management, and football periodisation.
The balanced structure was designed to ensure that coaches not only meet the CAF licensing standards but also apply global best practices within Zimbabwe’s local football ecosystem.
Those who attended have now officially renewed their CAF C Licences for another three years, making them eligible to work on the technical bench during that period and paving the way for their progression to the CAF B level.
The course also provided ZIFA with a clearer picture of the technical level of local coaches, helping the federation assess areas of growth and identify emerging coaching talent ready for advanced certification.
