The British Omani Society is excited to announce that we are establishing the first ever coaching collaboration between the English Football Association (FA) and the Oman Football Association, the two countries governing bodies for football, to train Omani football coaches in Oman. This is being done with the generous sponsorship of Oman LNG.
The intensive 8-day football coach training course will take place in Muscat, Oman, between 6 to 13 February 2025 for 14 Omani OFA coaches, including four Omani women coaches. Two expert UK FA Coach Developers will fly out from the UK to train them.
This is the first time both FAs have agreed to work together on coach skills building and the project has scope to expand into an ongoing partnership. All Omani coaches that complete the course will receive FA accreditation.
The UK FA coaches are Amanda Greenslade and Daniel (Danny) Fenner. Amanda has been with the FA for 5 years, while Danny has worked at the FA for 10 years. Both of them are very passionate about developing people, coaches and players.
Coach Amanda Greenslade said: “Projects like this are incredibly exciting because they offer a unique opportunity to share knowledge and skills while learning from others in return. What excites me most is the chance to contribute to the growth and development of Omani football, empowering coaches with tools and techniques to nurture talent and elevate the game locally.”
Coach Danny Fenner said: “So excited, I have never been to the Middle East. I can’t wait to be immersed in the culture. Working with coaches who want to develop players, I would love to learn from the Omanis their way of coaching and developing.”
We at the Society are very excited about this project and cannot wait to share more about it as it commences on February 6th. Look forward to getting to know more about the UK and Omani coaches soon!
