Participants of the ongoing All-Female CAF Licence C Coaching Course were at the Accra Sports Stadium on Saturday to observe the Black Maidens’ FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup qualifier against Liberia as part of their practical coaching education program.

The exercise formed part of the practical component of the CAF Licence C course.

The 30 participants, led by GFA women’s football Development officer Jennifer Amankwa Sarpong and Course Instructor Mercy Tagoe Quarcoo and other key instructors used the match as a live learning exercise focused on match analysis, tactical observation, player positioning, transitions, and game management.

Throughout the game, the participants closely monitored tactical structures, team organization, pressing patterns, attacking movements, and decision-making from both sides while taking technical notes under the guidance of course instructors.

The Black Maidens’ dominant 6-0 victory over Liberia provided the coaches with an excellent opportunity to study various aspects of the game, including attacking build-up, defensive shape, transitions, and finishing efficiency.

The All-Female CAF Licence C Coaching Course is part of ongoing efforts by the Ghana Football Association to develop more qualified female coaches.

The participants are expected to continue with both theoretical and practical sessions throughout the duration of the course at the GFA Technical Centre.
