Mission
FIFA offers an extensive programme of courses to
educate and train instructors, coaches, referees, doctors, managers
and journalists. These courses focus not just on the technical
aspects of the game, but also on its social values, as youngsters
in particular should regard football as a school of life. The
principle behind FIFA's educational initiatives involves the
teachers and participants passing on and exchanging know-how,
experiences and information, which in turn finds its way back to
the associations, instructors and other sectors of society such as
the private sector, government bodies and non-governmental
organisations (NGOs). FIFA's programme is tailor-made to meet
the member associations' requirements for education and
courses. FIFA's courses ultimately increase the number of
trained instructors, which boosts the long-term, targeted
development of football all around the world.
