Where to look for courses in Melilla

In Melilla, coaching courses depend on the Real Federación Melillense de Fútbol (RFMF) and its Melillan Coaching School, based at Plaza de las Cuatro Culturas. Unlike most federations, the RFMF opens calls sporadically — not every season on a fixed calendar — and calls are announced in the local press and on academia.rfef.es, as its website has no training section or course circulars.

The last known call is from January 2026 (UEFA B and Futsal Nacional B). If you want to train in Melilla, the three ways to find out in time are: checking the academia.rfef.es course search filtered by the federation, following the Melillan sports press, or contacting the federation directly. When a call opens, it will also appear in the notices at the top of this guide.

How RFMF calls work

Melillan courses follow the national system — enrolment on academia.rfef.es, the same UEFA programmes as the rest of Spain — but with three particularities worth knowing:

Sporadic cadence: there is no call every season; the last known one (January 2026) opened UEFA B and Futsal Nacional B. The recent pattern points to winter calls.
No announcement channel of its own: the federation website publishes no training section; announcements arrive via local press and the platform itself.
Offer limited by size: the Melillan pyramid tops out at 1ª División Autonómica, so local training covers the C and B levels; for UEFA A or above you need a mainland federation.

If you are in a hurry to qualify and no local call is in sight, any mainland federation accepts students from other territories with enrolment through the same platform — first check how the club requirement for placements works, and for the step-by-step process, how to enrol in a coaching course.

Minimum qualification per category

The RFMF General Regulations (2024 edition, articles 87-90) apply the national RFEF scheme without an adapted chart of their own — as Murcia also does. Translated to the Melillan pyramid, one of the shortest in Spain (1ª División Autonómica > Juvenil > Cadete > Infantil in 11-a-side, with alevín down to debutante in 7/8-a-side): UEFA B (or Level I Diploma) qualifies you for territorial senior and youth football, and UEFA C (or Nacional C / monitor) covers cadete down to prebenjamín.

The qualified-coach obligation reaches every federated club, and coaching without the required qualification — or lending your licence — is a specific coaching offence (article 90), with the exact sanction referred to the RFMF Disciplinary Regulations.

If you want an academic qualification, TD Level 1 equals UEFA B (TD Level 2 = UEFA A; TD Superior = UEFA Pro), per Article 167 bis of the RFEF Regulations. Compare both routes in Sports Technician vs UEFA licence.

Melillan territorial football

Categories	Minimum qualification
1ª División Autonómica (senior, men's and women's) and Juvenil	Level I Diploma / UEFA B
Cadete, Infantil, Alevín, Benjamín and Prebenjamín	Nacional C, UEFA C or monitor

Article 89 of the RFMF General Regulations (2024 edition), applying the RFEF General Regulations scheme. Non-compliance: specific coaching offence (article 90), with the sanction referred to the Disciplinary Regulations.

Sports Technician and grants in Melilla

No centre in Melilla teaches the Sports Technician in Football: as in Ceuta, the academic route runs through the mainland or distance-learning centres, and without a local public centre the general Ministry grant does not apply to this training in the city.

No aid from the Autonomous City or current federation discount has been found to fund the coaching course either — prices and terms become known with each RFMF call. All general funding options are covered in grants and scholarships for the coaching course.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a coaching course open right now in Melilla?

As of this guide, no: the RFMF opens calls sporadically and the last known one is from January 2026 (UEFA B and Futsal Nacional B). To find out about the next one in time: check the academia.rfef.es search filtered by the Melillan federation, follow the local sports press or contact the federation (federacion@rfmf.es). When a call opens, it will appear in the notices at the top of this guide.

Which licence do I need to coach in Melilla?

The Melillan pyramid is short and the scheme is the national one: with UEFA C (or Nacional C) you cover cadete down to prebenjamín, and with UEFA B (or Level I Diploma) you reach youth football and territorial senior football — the 1ª División Autonómica, the local summit. Every federated club must register a qualified coach, and coaching without the required qualification is a specific offence (article 90 of the RFMF General Regulations).

Can I take the course with another federation if Melilla has no call?

Yes: UEFA courses are the same programmes across Spain and enrolment always runs through academia.rfef.es, so a Melillan can join any mainland federation's call — accounting for travel for the in-person part. It is also the only route to UEFA A or above, which the RFMF does not offer. Mind the club requirement in dual-format courses: sort it out before enrolling.

Can you study the Sports Technician in Football in Melilla?

No: no centre in the city teaches football sports education, just as in Ceuta. The real options are the local federation route when the RFMF opens a call (C and B levels) or taking the Sports Technician on the mainland or by distance learning. Remember the equivalence in Article 167 bis of the RFEF Regulations: TD Level 1 = UEFA B and TD Level 2 = UEFA A.

Are there grants for the coaching course in Melilla?

None have been found in force: no Autonomous City aid for this training and no published federation discounts — the financial terms become known with each RFMF call, so check its announcement when one opens. With no public Sports Technician centre in the city, the general Ministry grant does not apply to this training in Melilla either.
