Missions

Improving the quality of football is the ultimate objective of the Technical Department. To this end, football experts observe and analyse games and training
sessions. Experienced instructors pass on these findings to coaches and interested parties all around the world as part of the course programme, which is intended to help create and improve structures at individual member associations in the areas of
coaching instruction and player development. FIFA also endeavours to improve
the quality of the game with technical improvements to the playing surface and material, through a licensing system.
