UEFA B Fitness Coach Course Concludes Successfully in Albania

 For the first time, the Albanian Football Federation (FSHF) has partnered with UEFA to organize the UEFA B Fitness Coach course, which certifies physical fitness trainers. This milestone initiative concluded successfully this week.

 Candidates in the exam

The course was attended by 33 candidates, including several who are currently serving as fitness coaches for teams in the Albanian top-tier league, "Abissnet Superiore." Others participated in such a training program for the very first time, as FSHF reports.

Starting in September, the course ran for four months and culminated with the final exam held on December 16. Throughout this period, participants engaged in four blocks of theoretical and practical training. Three of these sessions were overseen by UEFA delegate Chris Barnes, who provided valuable feedback and recommendations for further enhancement of the program.

This course marks a significant step forward in the professional development of fitness coaches and the overall improvement of training quality in Albanian football. Special emphasis during the lectures and practical sessions was placed on women’s football and youth development.

New course dates for 2025 will soon be announced, allowing interested candidates to learn more about the registration process, fees, and course structure. This initiative reflects a growing commitment to advancing football education and professionalism in Albania.
