The Technical Department of the Saudi Arabian Football Federation (SAFF) has concluded the second part of the AFC Professional Coaching Diploma (PRO License) course, which took place in Riyadh over five days with the participation of 24 national coaches.
Supervised by the Coaches’ Affairs Department, the course focused on providing specialized training programs through technical lectures, as well as theoretical and practical assessments, delivered by instructors Frank Thilver, Bandar Al-Ahmadi, and Mushabab Al-Hakim.
The participants have now begun the field-immersion phase at professional clubs, designed to provide insight into the technical and training work environment and to offer exposure to practical, real-world experiences.
This phase serves as preparation for each coach to develop and present their own individual sports project during the third part of the course.
This course is part of a comprehensive development program established by the Saudi Arabian Football Federation, aimed at qualifying coaches across all specializations through ongoing professional development initiatives.
