Technical director of the Nigeria Football
Federation, NFF, Bitrus Bewarang said organizing matches at the grassroot is
not what football development is all about.
He made this disclosure recently during
an exclusive interview with the New Hunters in his office at the NFF
secretariat, Abuja.
Bewarang disclosed that football development
is all about developing coaches, training them and making them available to the
grassroots so that they can teach the players before you organizing
competitions for them.
He further revealed that the technical
department of the NFF is trying to ensure that more coaches are trained and
equipped with the latest techniques and tactics in order to impact the right knowledge
on the players at the grassroot level.
His words, “The NFF is pushing hard
to develop football at the grassroot and that is first, the coaches have to be
trained; what used to be in the past is that when they say football development,
what happened is that we just go and organize competitions and that is not the reason
behind football development.
“First of all you develop coaches,
train them and make them available to the grassroots so that they will teach
these players before you organize competitions, so these are gradually being brought
to the attention of the Federation and I am very happy that you know we are
trying to come up with this and that is why they have given the technical
department as many coaches’ training as possible,” he concluded.
