Swedish footballer Kosovare Asllani has been named Laureus's latest ambassador, 'inspiring young people and advocating about the work of charity's programmes around the world'.

The CD Tacón striker commented 'I experienced Laureus programmes at the Laureus World Sports Awards earlier this month and was inspired by the young people and programme leaders I met. These programmes use sport as the hook, but the work they do is truly changing lives for the better and if I can help in any way, I’ll be more than happy to do so'.
