Four Ghanaian coaches—Godwin Attram, Winfred Dormon, Fatawu Salifu, and Abdulai Gazale—departed Ghana this morning for Wales to participate in the UEFA B Licence Coaching Course organised by the Football Association of Wales (FAW). The programme forms part of an ongoing technical collaboration between the Ghana Football Association (GFA) and FAW, aimed at strengthening coach education, knowledge exchange, and long-term football development.
UEFA B Licence: A Major Milestone in Coaching Education
The UEFA B Licence is regarded as one of Europe’s most respected coaching qualifications, focusing on advanced tactical understanding, player development, performance analysis, and modern training methodologies. Participation in this course exposes Ghanaian coaches to elite European football structures, best practices, and innovative coaching philosophies that can be adapted to local football ecosystems.

Strengthening Ghana’s Technical Capacity
This initiative aligns with the GFA’s broader strategy to enhance the technical capacity of Ghanaian coaches at both club and national levels. By investing in internationally recognised coaching education, the GFA hopes to improve grassroots development, elite performance pathways, and overall competitiveness of Ghanaian football on the global stage.
International Collaboration Driving African Football Growth
The Ghana–Wales partnership reflects a growing trend of cross-continental collaboration in football development. Similar international engagements have seen African coaches and administrators benefit from European expertise, as highlighted in recent global football discussions and tournaments. Morocco’s Walid Regragui’s rise, celebrated in his AFCON 2025 coaching recognition, and expanding African scouting networks such as Dani Alves’ reported scouting links with Ghana and Nigeria, underline the continent’s increasing integration into global football systems.
Long-Term Vision for Ghana Football
Upon completion of the UEFA B Licence course, the four coaches are expected to return with enhanced technical expertise that will directly impact youth development, domestic leagues, and national team structures. The GFA believes such targeted international exposure is critical for sustaining football excellence and preparing Ghanaian coaches for future CAF and FIFA competitions.
This latest development marks another positive step in Ghana’s commitment to modernising its football framework through strategic international partnerships and elite-level coach education.
