The Rwanda Football Federation (FERWAFA) has officially launched the 2nd Module of the CAF A License coaching course. The session was inaugurated today at FERWAFA HQ in Kigali by CAF Technical Expert Abrham Mebratu from Ethiopia.

This module combines both theoretical and practical sessions and will run until Saturday, April 18, 2026, as part of the structured CAF A License program designed to enhance high-level coaching standards in Rwanda.

The course brings together 25 Rwandan coaches, including five women, marking a historic first for female participation at this level in Rwanda. Their inclusion reflects ongoing efforts to promote inclusivity and strengthen women’s involvement in football technical development.
