Qatar- Novel gesture to train women football coaches


(MENAFN- The Peninsula) The Peninsula

Doha: Leading football organisations in Qatar have joined forces with the Royal Dutch Football Association (KNVB) to deliver a successful training course for female football coaches in the country.

A total of 45 participants received certifications for the coaching and life skills course organised jointly by the Qatar Football Association (QFA) with the KNVB and Qatar Women's Sports Committee (QWSC), with participation from 15 Generation Amazing female coaches, the Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy (SC) said on its website.

'I would like to thank QFA for the good cooperation in the course which has been completed, 45 participants received certificates, and we are more than happy with the way things are proceeding, said Johan van Geijn, Specialist for International CSR Partnerships at KNVB.

'The talks that we have between the two football associations have been very fruitful, we look forward to four years of working together with the support of our government. For the women's domain I think we can make good strides.

The course represented the third time the parties had worked together for women's football development in Qatar. In April 2018, the KNVB partnered with the QWSC and conducted a course for female coaches in cooperation with EVO Soccer.

The training programme was endorsed by QFA, and laid the foundations to reach an agreement for further cooperation with the KNVB. In December 2018, a refresher course served as the cornerstone and activation for a MoU between QFA and the KNVB.
