The CAF B-License refresher course will take place from 20 to 24 June 2026, while the CAF A-License course will run across six modules from 2 August 2026 to 7 February 2027.

Nigerian coaches will pay ₦3 million for the CAF A-License course, while foreign applicants will pay $3,000. The CAF B refresher course fee for Nigerian coaches is ₦700,000.
Applications for the CAF A-License course close on Sunday, 31 May 2026, while the CAF B refresher and CAF A pre-course assessments will be held virtually and in person between 1 and 23 June 2026.
