Football NSW schedules additional AFC/FFA B & goalkeeper coaching courses

Football NSW has announced a series of coaching courses to upskill the state’s professional and amateur coaches.

After revealing it will schedule two additional AFC/FFA B License Courses throughout 2021, the federation has today announced it will also host AFC/FFA Level 1 Goalkeeping License courses to commence in March 2021.

The goalkeeping license is designed for coaches who teach talented youth, or senior goalkeepers and focuses on their role within 11 v 11 football. The courses, which cost $1,930, will be hosted at Valentine Sports Park in Glenwood, NSW.

The course will also include the mandatory prerequisite, the C License Part 1 built into the first two days of the training, however coaches who have already completed this prerequisite do not need to attend these first two days and the price will be adjusted to $1,430.

The news to host AFC/FFA Level 1 Goalkeeping License sessions follows Football NSW’s announcement that it will add more AFC/FFA B License Courses due to an unprecedented demand.

In the ‘B’ License Course, coaches can expect to be upskilled on the 11 v 11 aspects of the game including football analysis and applying the FFA vision and philosophy to their training model.

These courses are scheduled to take place from June 2021 and will be split into two parts, each which requires six days of attendance. The ‘B’ License will also take place at Valentine Sports Park.

How James Johnson Is Shaping Canada Soccer’s Billion-Dollar World Cup Commercial Future

Canada Soccer has confirmed a renewed long-term commercial agreement with Canadian Soccer Media and Entertainment, marking a significant reset in the federation’s revenue strategy as the country prepares to co-host the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The updated partnership extends CSME’s control of Canada Soccer’s commercial rights, including sponsorship, broadcast and media licensing, while introducing revised financial terms designed to provide the federation with greater long-term revenue certainty and growth potential. The agreement replaces a previous deal that faced heavy scrutiny from players and stakeholders over concerns surrounding commercial valuation and distribution of revenues.

CSME, led by Group Chief Executive James Johnson, played a central role in renegotiating the structure, which aims to better align commercial returns with the sport’s accelerating domestic and international profile. The revised framework is expected to support increased investment across national team programs, commercial development and broader football growth initiatives.

The agreement arrives at a pivotal moment for Canadian football, with momentum building across both men’s and women’s programs and global attention increasing ahead of 2026. Securing a more sustainable commercial model is viewed as critical to ensuring the federation can maximise opportunities generated by hosting football’s largest tournament.

The renewed partnership also signals a shift toward long-term commercial planning, providing Canada Soccer with a more stable financial platform as it looks to strengthen its competitive standing and expand participation nationwide.
