The event which took place at the National Institute For Sports (NIS), national stadium, Lagos had in attendance football coaches from all over Nigeria and Ghana. The coaches expressed delight at what they called a long awaited opportunity to learn new tricks in the game and thanked Dr Terry Babatunde Eguaoje, founder of FCAAN for giving them an opportunity to be better coaches through the coaching course.

Dr Eguaoje told reporters that he was delighted with the attitude of the Nigerian coach to learning during the course.

"One interesting thing about the FCAAN E License course was the quest by Nigerian coaches to learn. They didn't just sat down and watch, they asked very vital questions which showed their enthusiasm to be better coaches in future", enthused Dr Eguaoje who is the Technical Director of Mississippi Soccer Association.

Sam Snow, an American who is the United States Youth Soccer Technical Director and who was brought to Nigeria by Dr Eguaoje to train the trainers also expressed delight at seeing Nigerian coaches scramble for knowledge and promised to be back in the country as soon as possible for FCAAN's D License coaching courses.

The FCAAN course which held between February 16 and 17 involved theory and practical sessions and was in collaboration with the Lagos State Football Association. All the coaches in attendance were awarded FCAAN E Licenses. FCAAN is endorsed by the Nigeria Football.
