Dushanbe: A Club and League Assessment Visit under the AFC Kick Off development programme is underway in Tajikistan.
The visit aims to assess the current situation of clubs in Tajikistan in terms of management, technical, infrastructure, finance and other important areas. Ten premier league clubs will be visited during the exercise.
The visit commenced with an opening ceremony at the Tajikistan Football Federation (TFF) headquarters on Monday with the national football body’s Vice President Khurshed Mirzoev giving a warm welcome.
“I’d like to welcome the AFC delegates and thank them for assisting the TFF in the development of leagues and clubs” he said. “It is a good opportunity for the clubs to know in what areas they are lacking and the recommendations will help the clubs to develop themselves.”
A presentation was made to TFF officials to explain the Kick Off programme and the objectives of the visit with individual meetings held with TFF staff responsible for league, finance, legal and technical matters.
After the assessment of all the clubs, the findings will be presented to the TFF and recommendations provided on how to address the issues and challenges facing the clubs.
Kick Off is a programme which focuses on strengthening the club and league management of AFC’s Member Associations through tailor-made, self-sustainable solutions.
