Following the completion of the qualifiers for the 2025 African Cup of Nations, the Confederation of African Football has named a new competition ambassador, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The 24 qualified countries were officially confirmed on Wednesday after rounds of qualifying matches.

CAF on Thursday named former Elephant of Cote d'Ivoire midfielder Yaya Toure as the new ambassador of the competition.
