INTRODUCTION.
Since the conception of the National interpools in Cameroon, the traditional media have been on a tail to promote it’s activities and ensure a smooth running of the tournament in what ever Region it is holding, but with these years National interpools that is the 2022 National interpools taking place in the Southwest Region, it is worth emulating that the social media is wildly and fully involved and propagating the activities of the tournament.
Moreso, the social media is fully involved in the 2022 National interpools with the Southwest Region being the host and According to football fans, lovers and sports guru’s, these years National interpools has gone beyond the National Territories of Cameroon as many could testify that both the traditional and the social media are all working endlessly to see a smooth running of the tournament and most especially the social media promoting the tournament not just in the Region, Nation, Africa but in the World at large.
BODY.
In addition, the online Journalists both in and out of the Region are all committed towards using their online blog sites to promote their own, that is the ongoing National interpools in the Southwest Region. As the population could stay at home, job sites and other convenient places and with a blink of an eye gets full details and updates of the different groups, pools, matches, teams and players of the ongoing 2022 National interpools in the Southwest Region all thanks to the 100% involvement of the Social Media in Promoting football and the National interpools in the Country as geared and anticipated by the FECAFOOT’S National President in the person of Samuel Eto’o Files who in all his outings call for an inclusion of both the traditional and Social Media Journalist to promote their own to make Cameroon football great again in the Nation and why not even out of the Country.
Furthermore, the active participation of the social media in promoting the 2022 National interpools in the Southwest Region also come to help salvage the on going Socio-political Crisis plaguing the Northwest and Southwest Regions respectively, as it is often said football, sports brings peace and unity amongst people the social media on her part is in active participation to make everyone in the these Regions to concentrate on the updates and development of the tournament taking their minds off the crisis and making way for football to bring peace in the Southwest and Northwest Regions giving that these two Regions both have a team each representing them at the 2022 National interpools, with the constant appearance of the social media in promoting football and the tournament also keeping these teams latest updates glue to the social media making the inhabitants of these two Regions to be preoccupied with the tournament updates and less thinking of the crisis thus initiating peace in the Northwest and Southwest Regions.
CONCLUSION.
Conclusively, these years 100% of the social media involvement and promotion of the 2022 National interpools comes as a means to welcome and include online Journalist to embark on the FECAFOOT’S National Presidents dream to Bring back Cameroon’s football to another level where not just the traditional media Journalist were accredited badges for the tournament but both the online and social media Journalist were equally accredited badges to cover the tournament and ensure a smooth running and constant updates of the tournaments progress to the rest of the nation and those out of the nation, all thanks to the new innovation put in place by the Samuel Eto’o FECAFOOT’S National President.
RECOMMENDATION.
After a close observation from the different social media blogs and online sites and seeing how active the public is reacting to these social media updates, I would recommend that these new initiative by Samuel Eto’o to bring in both Journalist from the social media angles to promote football in the nation and beyond should be encouraged and bring in even more online Journalist who were not involved to be part of these innovation. Secondly, i would recommend that more seminar workshops should be organized by the Sports body to help train these online Journalist on the need and necessity for a peace like reporting on football and sports in general to help attained the peace we all glamour for and to help shape our online and social media platforms where informations are being passed.
