UEFA Instructor to Lead Iran’s Pro Coaching Course

AFC Pro License coaching course, featuring a UEFA-accredited instructor from Portugal, to elevate the expertise of top-tier coaches.

FFIRI has announced the return of the prestigious AFC Pro License coaching course, set to take place from June 10 to June 21, 2025, marking its fourth occurrence in the country after an eight-year hiatus. This significant initiative, hosted by the FFIRI, aims to enhance the professional and scientific standards of football coaching in Iran while aligning with the Asian Football Confederation’s (AFC) updated regulations for club professionalization.

The course is a critical step for Iranian football, as the AFC now mandates that coaches in the Persian Gulf Pro League possess the Pro License for the upcoming season. The participant roster includes prominent coaches from Iran’s top-tier and first-division leagues, underscoring the program’s importance and credibility.

A highlight of this course is the involvement of a UEFA-accredited international instructor from Portugal, appointed by the AFC. With extensive expertise in modern European coaching methodologies, the instructor is expected to enrich the curriculum and provide participants with cutting-edge knowledge.

This program offers a unique opportunity for coaches to deepen their professional expertise, exchange insights, and prepare for success in both domestic and international arenas. The combination of high-caliber participants, top-tier instruction, and a robust curriculum positions this course as a pivotal moment for the development of Iranian football coaching.
