CAF has established a new Ambassadors programme and the first four legends to be signed up are Ghana’s all-time top scorer Asamoah Gyan, Nigeria’s dribbling magician Jay-Jay Okocha, Senegalese hitman El Hadji Diouf and the 4 times winner of the AFCON (1998,2006,2008 and 2010), Ahmed Hassan of Egypt.
More football legends, role models in communities and many popular personalities are expected to join the newly established CAF Ambassadors programme.
