FUTURO III focuses on the education of member association instructors in the topics of coaching, refereeing, administration and management and sports medicine. Participants in this programme are expected to be actively teaching in their member associations, both before and after the course.
Format of Futuro III Programme
FUTURO III courses use a regional format,
assembling and educating instructors selected by the member
associations from neighbouring countries in a centralised venue. A
maximum of two instructors per member association may participate
in any one course, depending on the qualifications of the
applicants and size of the country. As such, up to ten countries
can benefit from a single FUTURO III course. It is intended that
the instructors participating in this programme are active at the
end of each course, and as such, relevant activity plans will be
elaborated by the participating member associations with the
support of FIFA. A yearly allocation of courses that endeavours to
touch all regions will be decided upon by FIFA. The courses should
be held at facilities financed through the FIFA Goal and/or FAP
projects wherever possible.

FUTURO III course: all expenses for the course instructors; a fixed
