Coach Education ensures the future quality of football, which lies to a large extent in the hands of qualified coaches, who play a vital role in the development of players and the game. It provides a coach with the appropriate tools and knowledge for his/her development to become a professional in the World of Football.
AFC’s Coach Education activities started in 1989 when the Confederation established its Technical Department and put it in charge of all Coach Education affairs. The AFC Coach Licencing Scheme was introduced in phases, with the first ‘C’ Licence course delivered in 1994. Following the ‘C’ course, the ‘B’ and ‘A’ Licence courses were introduced in 1996 and 1997 respectively.
Coaching Diplomas are courses designed to educate coaches to organize, direct and conduct basic training modules to organize small-sided games, develop fundamental techniques and game understanding of players from the grassroots level. Diplomas enhances leadership abilities, sharpens strategic thinking, gives practical insights into the modern practices of sports performance management and gives you a broader perspective of the many challenges and complexities of the game. Diploma course empowers a coach to analyse, coach, train, teach, lead and to assess youth as well as professionals. Diploma is a certificate, which a Coach will receive after a successful completion of a course.

License permits a coach to get into coaching. Once a coach gets his Diploma, he will need a License to coach. It will be valid for a period of 3 years. If a Coach does not continue in his/her Continued Professional Development (CPD) courses during the valid period of time the license will be deemed.
The License will be renewed for another 3 years if the candidate undergoes his CPD of 24 points. If the 24 points are not completed in the 3 years; then, that particular coach has to gain the required number of missing points to revalidate his/her License as soon as possible and no later than 2 years. Till the time all 24 points are not gained and the license is not validated, that particular coach will not be allowed to coach officially in any of the AIFF affiliated football events.

Any Coach who has a License/Diploma from any Confederation besides UEFA, FA or FFA may apply for Recognition if they believe that their current football knowledge, practical experience, and/or current qualifications obtained from another Confederation or Football Association are equal to or exceed the minimum requirements of a specific AFC Certification.

The All India Football Federation in its goal to create and maintain exemplary standards towards the development of Indian Football has introduced the Coaches Registration System for all licensed coaches in and outside the country holding an Indian Passport. The system is introduced to create a database for all existing licensed Indian coaches in the country and abroad to not only keep count of them but also monitor and track their activities.
With the steady increase in the number of AIFF and AFC Coaching courses every year and over hundreds of coaches being produced through the courses, it is imperative that the licensed coaches are properly tracked and classified according to their certificates, location, and employment. One of the biggest challenges existing in the present scenario is to keep a record of various such licensed coaches employed across and outside the country. This system will narrow down the search and help streamline their performance data along with their coaching activities. The system will enable coaches to apply for future courses after validation of their registration procedure. It will also provide public access for interested stakeholders including clubs, associations and others to view the status and brief profile of each registered coach.
The coaches can access the portal through http://coaching.the-aiff.com
