Coaching candidates have taken another step towards obtaining the UEFA
A licence offered by the Football Federation of Armenia (HFF) after
making a field trip to Donetsk.

The UEFA A licence course launched in February by the licensing
department of the Football Federation of Armenia (HFF) entered its
second phase in March.
During this stage, which involved a trip to Donetsk, Ukraine, from 6
to 13 March, the participants had the opportunity to observe and
analyse training sessions at Ukrainian Premier League clubs FC
Shakhtar Donetsk and FC Metalurh Donetsk.
HFF coach instructors also took part in the study as assessors. Having
already gained their A licences, the instructors monitor the
association's coaches throughout the year.
Meanwhile, on 10 March, the HFF's licensing committee met at the
federation headquarters to decide whether to award licences to the
country's Premier League teams.
Taking into account the reports and remarks of the licensing
department, the committee chose to grant national licences to all
applicants. However, another challenge remains for these clubs: that
of satisfying the financial criteria crucial to their obtaining a UEFA
licence.
The licensing department also organised two seminars: the first, held
on 19 March in cooperation with the refereeing department, focused on
the Laws of the Game and fair play for head coaches and captains of
the top-flight sides; the second, between 22 and 24 March, concerned
the maintenance of artificial turf for club and stadium
representatives.
The latter event featured input from FIFA's artificial turf consultant
Eric Harrison who was visiting Yerevan with the FIFA Goal Programme.
