Football coach course in Ceuta

In Ceuta, coaching courses are run by the Real Federación de Fútbol de Ceuta (RFFCE), with its registered office at Paseo del Revellín, 21 - 1º and its Ciudad del Fútbol — where the courses are taught — on Avenida de África. Its federation offer centres on UEFA C — with UEFA B and futsal editions (Nacional C and B) depending on the call — and includes neither UEFA A nor UEFA Pro.

The RFFCE processes enrolments through academia.rfef.es, the RFEF national platform. Calls are announced on the federation website and in the local press, with both summer and winter editions — the latest winter one started in January 2026. To confirm current contact and website check the RutaMister federations page.

Each edition's specific deadlines appear in the notices at the top of this guide when open, as well as on each course listing at academia.rfef.es. If you do not have a club yet, first check how the club requirement for placements works, and for the step-by-step process, how to enrol in a coaching course.

Ceuta sets its requirements per modality — unique among territorial federations — in its three 2026/27 Competition Rules (July 2026): in 7-a-side football, where prebenjamín, benjamín and alevín play, UEFA C is mandatory in every category from the first match; in 11-a-side the requirement starts at infantil (UEFA C) and rises to UEFA B in cadete, juvenil and Regional Preferente; and in futsal the Nacional scale applies (C from debutants, B in cadete and juvenil).

The sanction is double and explicit: sitting on the bench without the required qualification — or lending your licence — is punished with 4 to 20 matches or 1 to 6 months of suspension; and if an obliged team turns up without a coach, the club faces progressive fines from €150 to €600 up to exclusion from the competition. UEFA licences must be current, with the National School's 15-hour refresher certificate.

The fitness coach needs UEFA C plus a Sports Science degree, and the goalkeeping coach, the specialist Nacional C. To compare with the academic route: TD Level 1 equals UEFA B (TD Level 2 = UEFA A; TD Superior = UEFA Pro), per Article 167 bis of the RFEF Regulations — detail in Sports Technician vs UEFA licence.

No centre in Ceuta teaches the Sports Technician in Football: the official list of the city's nine vocational centres includes no sports education (the closest thing is the TAFAD at IES Clara Campoamor, which does not qualify you as a coach). The academic route runs through the mainland — Andalusia as the natural option — or distance-learning centres, and without a local public centre the general Ministry grant does not apply to this training either.

As for aid, the precedent is strong: the RFFCE's 2025/26 call included discounts of up to 80% for women coaches and 20% overall — check the current call's announcement to see if they hold. The federation also runs a programme of grants for active coaches (a subsidy for those already coaching, distinct from a tuition discount). All funding options are covered in grants and scholarships for the coaching course.
