WIRE — The Confederation of African Football (Caf) has approved the Football Association of Malawi (Fam) to conduct the Caf A coaching course. This follows Fam's successful compliance with all eight requirements under the Caf coaching convention. The association began developing the Caf A coaching manual in April 2025. The development team included Bhekuzulu Khumalo, Oscar Kanjala, former Fam technical director John Kaputa and Peterkins Kayira. Following the approval, Fam now has the mandate to conduct the course. Fam president Fleetwood Haiya described the development as a major milestone in the association's football transformation agenda. "This achievement will, among others, strengthen coach education, improve the quality of football and make elite coaching qualifications more accessible in Malawi," he said. Fam technical director Yvon Avry said active coaches from top clubs would be prioritised. "We will select active coaches in the top clubs, meaning the Super League and the Women's National League, because it is important to have an impact on our top-level football," he said. National Football Coaches Association chairperson Aubrey Nankhuni praised the development, saying quality coaching is key to football growth. Fam last hosted a Caf A course in 2016 before Caf directed member associations to develop tailored manuals.
