Working with The AFC through their newly designed and re-launched website       www.The-AFC.com, FA Learning will be able to promote our new online course, Psychology for Soccer Level 1 to the Asian football market.

The online course is a first for any governing body in world football and has so far received an excellent response from the footballing public with an average of more than 200 students a month enroling on the course.

Robin Russell, FA Learning Project Director highlighted the significance of the new agreement, "We are delighted to be working even closer with The AFC."

"By utilising The AFC’s online platform we are able to promote our online services to an Asian market place that we believe we definitely take up the opportunity to get online and get involved with FA Learning."

"The passion shown by the Asian public for football and the growing interest in the game means that by working closely with The AFC will only strengthen the position of football education in Asia."

In the last few years, through the work of the International Relations Division of The FA, we have worked in partnership with The AFC on a number of development projects in Asia.

These include numerous visits and training courses for coaches, referees and administrators to a range of Asian countries including Dubai, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Thailand, China, Afghanistan and Iraq.

Working alongside The AFC in an online promotional capacity further strengthens this relationship and we are sure even more Asian football participants will benefit as a result of this agreement.
