Fifa Launch Educational Training Centre

FIFA has announced the launch of the FIFA Training Centre which will be used as an online innovative tool available to players and coaches across the world.

With a comprehensive bank of technical football information, the online academy features insightful resources developed by the sport’s leading experts and illustrates FIFA’s goal to harness technology for the benefit of the global game.

The “Game” section is designed to further the development of coaches, whilst under “Practice”, a vast range of training sessions are available aimed at cultivating the essential skills and qualities players require to thrive on the pitch. The wide-ranging vault of content features sessions for all levels, from grassroots to elite, and all age groups, from children to adults. Crucially, it is available to users all over the world.

“We have made all of our analysis a key part of the FIFA Training Centre to help everybody to improve,” said FIFA Chief of Global Football Development Arsène Wenger.

“It’s a huge initiative because we think that FIFA has a responsibility to educate people all over the world and this is one of the main tools that we have. We want everybody to take advantage of it, especially the coaches. This is a global tool that we offer to the whole world.”

The FIFA Training Centre also includes a section on the details that can be crucial to optimising performance levels in football, recognising that players and coaches need to be developed in a sustainable and holistic way and using successful individuals to reveal the keys to the process.

“The modern game has to integrate everybody,” Wenger continued. “That’s why this ‘environment’ section is so important. Today, we call it the sociological environment of the player, and because it has to be right, we try to educate everybody who is in that environment.”
