The Football Kenya Federation is hosting the first-ever CECAFA Technical Study Group (TSG) Workshop, currently underway in Nairobi. The three-day workshop, running from March 13 to March 15, 2025, brings together top football minds from across the region, marking a significant step toward enhancing the technical growth of the game in CECAFA nations.
Taking place at Swiss Lenana Mount Hotel, the workshop is led by FKF Technical Director Michael Amenga and Tanzanian Technical Director Oscar Mirambo and has drawn technical experts from Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Sudan, Somalia, Djibouti, and Burundi.
FKF Technical Director Michael Amenga emphasized the importance of this workshop in shaping modern football in the region.
“This workshop is crucial for Technical Experts within the CECAFA region to enhance their knowledge. In today’s modern football era, CECAFA cannot afford to lag behind in data and technical expertise, as that is what is driving success in the game.”
The workshop aims to revolutionize how Technical Study Group (TSG) reports are compiled, moving beyond traditional literature-based analysis to evidence-backed, data-driven assessments of football performances. Participants are trained to analyze teams based on tactical approaches, physical fitness levels, and mental awareness, ensuring a scientific, unbiased approach to game analysis.
Former Tanzanian international and CAF instructor Juma Kaseja Juma expressed the value of the workshop, “This workshop is essential—collaborating with experts allows one to absorb new insights, learn, and grow.”
Junior Starlets Assistant Coach and Kenyan CAF Instructor Jackline Juma also echoed similar sentiments:
“This workshop is a game-changer for technical growth in CECAFA football. It goes beyond coaching and analysis, offering deeper insights into the technical aspects of the game.”
With the CECAFA region striving to improve its football standards, this landmark workshop is expected to set the foundation for a more structured, analytical, and competitive football environment in East and Central Africa.
