‘QFA keen to develop local training system’
DOHA: Director of Development Department of Qatar Football Association (QFA) Fahd Thani Al Zaraa stressed that there are great efforts to develop football and local training system in the country.
Al Zaraa indicated that reaching those objectives goes through working with the age groups and U-10 sector as well as enhancing the efficiency of trainers, activities, and programs related to holding U-10 category up to youths category competitions.
He said that QFA has a joint education agreement with the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) to recognize the training courses organized by the QFA, thus granting qualification licenses for coaches to work in clubs.
In addition, the QFA supervises the support granted to clubs by providing the budgets to manage activities and sporting teams. QFA also acts as a link to coordinate with sporting organizations within the framework of developing football, especially Aspire Academy for Sports Excellence, which is specialized in developing a group of players qualified to play at higher levels and national teams.
