Built on the legacy of the landmark AFC Internship Programme, the Knowledge Sharing Programme was launched in January 2024, and is dedicated towards assisting candidates gain insights into current best practices of football governance, administration and day-to-day operations of the AFC.

During this time, the participant will get a valuable opportunity to obtain hands-on training from industry experts, while also attending and observing the 3rd AFC Women’s Football Conference, set to take place from 12 to 14 November 2024.

At the end of the programme, the enrolled candidate, now equipped with the necessary tools and knowledge to become a future leader of Asian football, will be expected to implement and share their learnings with their organisation.

Designed to strengthen and maximise the capabilities of its Members Associations (MAs) and Regional Associations (RAs), the programme aims to foster a culture of continuous enhancement in football administration across the Continent.

The AFC Knowledge Sharing Programme is open to all employees of the AFC’s MAs and RAs. Moreover, candidates from the AFC ACE who have graduated with “distinction” will also have the opportunity to be part of the programme.
