Kolkata, Sep 19 (UNI) India's supreme football regulating body - All India Football Federation (AIFF) -
will host an 'International Virtual Conference' for coaches from September 28-30, which will feature a number of top-level speakers conducting sessions over a wide variety of topics.
In a live chat with AIFF TV, AIFF Head of Coach Education Savio Medeira shared details about the course and the intentions behind conducting it.
" We have some very good speakers and the conference is based on various aspects, such as youth football, women's football, media, scouting and coach education, where an instructor from the FIFA Coach Education department will be there. On the last day, we have planned a master class with two of the best coaches - National Team Head Coach Igor Stimac and Phil Brown. With such a
line-up, if everything goes right, this conference will come out very successful," head of coach education Savio Medeira said.
The three-day conference will feature speakers such as Thomas Dennerby (India U-17 Women's national team coach), Basir Mohamed (Senior Manager, Coaching Development Department FIFA),
Dan Abrahams (Sports Psychologist), Dawn Scott (High-Performance Coach, FA UK), amongst others.
The participants in the conference will be AIFF C Certificate, AFC B Diploma, AFC A Diploma and AFC Pro Diploma-level coaches.
For the first time ever, the attending coaches will be accorded credits as part of the new revalidation process introduced by Medeira.
" With this International coaching seminar, I want to kick-off by giving credits to the coaches who are attending the seminar.
This conference will be for C, B, A and Pro-license at the moment because these certificates do not have revalidation,” Medeira averred.
