In another development, the CAF Licence D Coaching course for female inmates commenced at the Nsawam Female Prison on Monday.

CAF women football in partnership with the GFA Foundation is organising the Licence D course for female inmates at the Nsawam Female Prison.

The 30 participants include 25 female inmates and five prison officers, and will receive CAF accredited Licence D Coaching certificates if they pass the exams on the final day.

The Course Instructors include Madam Mercy Tagoe-Quarcoo, Joyce Boatey-Agyei, and Bernice Adutwumwaa, all CAF Women’s Football Instructors.

The CAF Football for Reform programme aims to provide female inmates with CAF-accredited coaching qualifications, improving their job prospects and supporting their reintegration into society after their release from prison. –Ghanafa.org
