The 2nd Edition of the FIFA Talent Development Scheme (TDS) – Talent Identification (TID) Course Concludes

The Bhutan Football Federation successfully conducted the 2nd Edition of the FIFA Talent Development Scheme (TDS) – Talent Identification (TID) Course in Gelephu, exclusively for BFF Elite Coaches.

The three-day course was led by FIFA TDS Lead, Mr. Eric, and focused on strengthening the capacity of elite coaches in modern talent identification and player development methodologies. A total of 19 participants took part in the program, which featured a balanced combination of theoretical insights and practical, field-based sessions.

Key areas of focus included talent identification principles, player profiling, long-term player development, and the effective application of FIFA TDS frameworks within the Bhutanese football ecosystem. Under Mr. Eric’s expert guidance, participants were exposed to FIFA’s global best practices, with particular emphasis on identifying potential talent at an early age and aligning development pathways with Bhutan’s national football development strategy.

The course served as a valuable platform for knowledge sharing, interactive discussions, and hands-on learning, empowering BFF elite coaches to implement structured, sustainable, and evidence-based talent identification systems across elite and regional training environments.

The successful completion of this course marks another significant milestone in the Bhutan Football Federation’s ongoing commitment to advancing football development through the FIFA Talent Development Scheme.
