The Bahrain Football Association (BFA) organised a festival and grassroots instructors course for all affiliate clubs under its purview at the National Stadium on May 15. The instructors course, which was conducted by local AFC ‘B’ licence coaches, also benefitted from a star studded line-up of local icons and former internationals including Alaa Hubail, Husain Ali Pele, Talal Yusuf, and Mohamed Salmeen.
BFA General Secretary Hasan Ismail reinforced the BFA’s commitment to grow the grassroots game by signalling the BFA’s intention to expand the festival and courses throughout the year.
Technical Operation Manager Mr. Aabed Al Ansari said that the objectives of the festival were multi-faceted, which include enabling coaches to organise more grassroots festivals island-wide, training and expanding the pool of coaches as well as to nurture their capabilities in a holistic learning environment.
