A few days before the long -awaited kick -off in the African CAF school football championship, Ghana 2025, a series of capacity building workshops scheduled by CAF has officially started at the University of Ghana in Accra.

The third edition of the final phase of the African CAF school football championship will take place from April 23 to 26, 2025 in Accra in Ghana where (8) nations are expected with their U-15, boys and girls selections.

While all eyes are turned to this youth football competition, the CAF strategy is to take advantage of this continental meeting to offer young locals, various workshops intended to prepare them to become future African leaders.

Six workshops officially started on Monday April 21: the youth program program, the youth reporters program, the youth doctors’ program, the safety and safety workshop, the CAF licensee training, as well as the CAF protection workshops.

Each program brings together 30 participants who, after their training, will acquire a new useful competence beyond the playgrounds.

Explaining on the sidelines of the program, the director of CAF members members, Sarah Mukuna, said that these workshops play a crucial role in the continuous success of the CAF School Football Championship, adding that this tournament offers CAF the opportunity to positively impact youth.

“The African CAF school football championship was a great success since its first edition in 2022. More than 800,000 boys and girls across Africa had the opportunity to practice football in competition, but above all, CAF used this program to effectively train young Africans. Thanks to CAF capacity building programs, we have managed to train and accredit young Africans with skills that, we are convinced, can be used in the field and outside, “said Mukuna.

All workshops are led by highly qualified experts who will share their theoretical and practical knowledge.

Also expected during the various workshops, CAF legends: Clémentine Touré (Ivory Coast), Robert Kidiaba (RD Congo), Abedi Pelé, Asamoah Gyan, Adjoa Bayor (Ghana), Amanda Dlamini (South Africa) and Kareem Haggui (Tunisia).
