Nigeria rugby technical development programme

Overview

The Nigeria Rugby Football Federation (NRFF) initiated a three-day technical capacity-building programme in Abuja to strengthen the nation’s coaching, officiating, and medical structures. Held at the Moshood Abiola National Stadium, the seminar includes training modules for Level 1 and Level 2 coaching and match officiating, alongside instruction in first aid, intensive care in rugby, and safeguarding essentials.

NRFF President Ademola Aré stated that increasing the number of certified officials is critical for the sport’s growth and for Nigeria’s capacity to compete internationally. The initiative, which aligns with global rugby standards and is supported by the National Sports Commission, aims to build a qualified workforce through technical training and quality assurance assessments.
