Black Stars Goalkeepers’ Coach Fatau Dauda Completes UEFA B Goalkeeping Course in Wales

Black Stars assistant goalkeepers’ coach Fatau Dauda has successfully completed the prestigious UEFA B Goalkeeping Course in Wales, marking another important milestone in his growing coaching career.

The former Ghana international goalkeeper, who has been working with the national team’s technical set-up in recent years, continues to demonstrate his commitment to professional development and modern coaching standards. His successful completion of the course is expected to further strengthen his expertise in goalkeeper training, player development and tactical preparation.

The UEFA B Goalkeeping Course is regarded as one of the key coaching programmes in Europe, designed to equip coaches with advanced technical knowledge, modern training methodologies and practical skills tailored specifically for goalkeeper development. The programme also exposes participants to the latest trends in sports science, match analysis and performance management.

Dauda, who enjoyed an illustrious playing career with the Black Stars and several clubs both locally and abroad, has steadily transitioned into coaching since hanging up his gloves. His dedication to improving his craft has earned praise from many within Ghana football circles, with supporters hopeful that his continued growth will positively impact the development of goalkeepers in the national teams.

The former Ashanti Gold S.C. and Enyimba F.C. shot-stopper represented Ghana at major international tournaments, including the Africa Cup of Nations, and remains one of the respected figures in Ghanaian football.

His latest achievement comes at a time when the Ghana national football team technical team continues efforts to improve performance and strengthen all departments ahead of upcoming international assignments.
