Participants will be identified by SAFA and will complete a six-modular course with the focus on governance, marketing and communications, strategic planning, finance, project management and creating winning cultures in soccer.
The project that will be co-managed by THETA, SAFA and SuperSport as their communications partner, is part of the broader National Skills Development Strategy of the country. It will provide a training intervention to increase the knowledge base in soccer and beneficiaries will undergo intensive theoretical and practical training.
