April 15 – The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) is going mobile with its educational support and for the first time holding its AFC Certificate in Football Administration and Management (ACFAM) in a hybrid format in a member association country.
Bishkek will be the venue for the programme that will be attended by 32 participants representing the Kyrgyz Football Union (KFU).
The course has been tailored to suit the regional needs of the Central Asian nation, with changes to two bespoke modules – Social & Environmental Sustainability and Principles of Leadership – which are taught with 10 others – The Organisation of World Football, Strategic Management, Human Resource Management, Social Responsibility and Child Safeguarding, Income Generation, Sports Law, Media & Communications, Financial Management, Event Management and Operational Management.
AFC Deputy General Secretary – Member Associations, Vahid Kardany said: “While this hybrid edition of the ACFAM has been tailored specifically to meet the regional requirements of the Kyrgyz Republic, it remains true to its objective of nurturing football-specific skillsets that enable future leaders to skillfully and proficiently oversee day-to-day operations of football management.
“This innovative programme reinforces the AFC’s commitment to its Vision and Mission of placing the development of its MAs and RAs first and foremost. Our participants no doubt share our aim, and this is why they will greatly benefit from the ACFAM by acquiring the knowledge and abilities that will allow them to elevate both their associations and Asian football to greater heights.”
The programme, concluding in October, will allow participants to access the Learning Management System online before the in-person lectures begin.
