A FIFA accredited doping control officers course will be organised by Asian Football Confederation in collaboration with the All India Football Federation and the National Dope Testing Laboratory here in November.
The two-day programme will be held in the capital on November 28 and 29.
The course will train officers to carry out doping control at the I-League, Indian Super League and other national and international football tournaments across the country.
The course will form part of the three-day AFC Football Medicine Conference scheduled in the Capital from November 30 to December 2.
Training of DCOs for football becomes significant in the wake of the recent positive dope test on a Mumbai FC player Dane Pereira in the ongoing I-League.
Mumbai FC player Dane Lloyd Pereira had been banned from playing professional football until further notice after he failed a dope test during the current I-League season.
The 29-year-old midfielder tested positive for a banned substance in the test conducted by National Anti-Doping Agency.
