Wenger visited the headquarters of the Egyptian Football Association to inaugurate the initiative, which is part of FIFA’s broader effort to help national football federations maximize their resources and improve coaching and player development.
Wenger added “To develop a great footballer, you need a great coach. That’s why we are here to improve the quality of coaching. Egypt has excellent coaches, but we aim to further their development because coaching is a fundamental part of success.”
