‘Protect The Dream’ – Super Eagles Legend Daniel Amokachi and the duo of Emmanuel Adebayor and Amanda Dlamini launched CAF campaign.
Super Eagles legend Daniel Amokachi has been joined by two other African legends in a CAF campaign against football trafficking to protect the dream of young athletes as well as the integrity of the game.
Earlier in the year, CAF partnered with Mission 89 – an internationally recognised research, education, and advocacy organisation that fights the exploitation of young athletes. The partnership saw CAF conducting Safeguarding and Anti-Player Trafficking workshops with all its 54 Member Associations and Zonal Unions.
