Renowned figures in Nigerian football, including the present Super Eagles coach, Augustine Eguavoen, and esteemed coaches Patrick Udoh and Daniel Amokachi, along with legendary goalkeeper, Peter Rufai and former Super Eagles Captain, Ahmed Musa have been appointed as ambassadors for the prestigious tournament.

In a formal announcement made in Abuja, Tournament Coordinator, John Bassey Ekpenyong emphasized the strategic selection of these ambassadors, citing their roots in grassroots football programs as a key factor in their appointment. 

Ekpenyong expressed confidence in the ambassadors’ ability to resonate with the tournament’s grassroots ethos, stating, “Their background as products of grassroots initiatives aligns perfectly with the core values of the tournament, and we believe their involvement will significantly enhance its impact.”
