The former Football Association Council had decided to pay the salaries of three coaches for a number of first-class clubs at a rate of 5,000 to 6,000 dirhams per month in support of it to encourage clubs to contract with national coaches in the age-level teams, and then this was reinforced by the decision to invite clubs to appoint national coaches in all categories.
