The FIFAe Coach Development Programme powered by FITGMR is FIFA’s official initiative to elevate coaching in football esports, by empowering coaches to unlock their full potential and raise standards across the FIFA ecosystem through a comprehensive, multi-week course designed for long-term impact. Co-created under the advisory of experienced FIFAe coaches and based on the scientific approaches of FITGMR, the programme provides coaches with foundational knowledge, modern coaching methods, and performance insights tailored to the football esports landscape.
The team of experienced eSport experts behind the FIFAe Coach Development Programme.
Whether you are a seasoned or an aspiring coach in the world of football esports, the FIFAe Coach Development Programme will equip you with tools, strategies and insights to manage elite players, build high-performing teams and boost your competencies in leadership, communication, performance analysis, physical conditioning, and stakeholder engagement to shape successful national squads.
The programme is open to everyone but is specifically targeted at coaches affiliated with FIFA Member Associations. That means: if you are a coach that is working under a Member Association, you are particularly invited to join.
Spaces are limited to 30 participants, to ensure high-quality interactions and personalized guidance. So if you are interested, sign up and get in touch with us via your respective Member Association communication channel.
The curriculum of the FIFAe Coach Development Programme covers a wide range of key areas critical for modern esports coaching. FITGMR’s science-based framework ensures the course is grounded in evidence-based coaching methodology, while the involvement of FIFAe coach advisors guarantees practical relevance and credibility. Rather than focusing on a single theme, each cohort is exposed to diverse perspectives and methodologies, including:
Application & Tryout Process
Team Building & Development
Practice Schedule & Regimen
Communication, Coordination & Conflict Resolution
Mental Fortitude & Performance Issues
Post-Game Analysis
Physical Conditioning & Lifestyle Training
Additionally, participants receive access to the FITGMR Coach Dashboard, enabling them to apply their learnings throughout the programme to manage their national team and explore educational content focused on boosting individual and team performance.
