The Nigeria Football Federation scheduled its CAF A-Licence coaching course from 2 August 2026 through 7 February 2027 across six modules. The federation described the programme as Nigeria's return to the CAF A-Licence pathway after nine years; this article does not claim that attendance or module completion has been independently confirmed.

The long format matters because coach education should be judged by applied learning, not an opening ceremony. Module completion, assessment quality and access for coaches outside the biggest centres are the practical accountability points.

The useful next evidence is an NFF start notice, participant list or module report showing how the scheduled programme reaches clubs and academies.
