VIDEO | 15-year-old livestreams Copa Libertadores final from mountain | OneFootball

Cliver Huamán, who could not get accredited because he is underage, climbed to the top of a hill next to the Monumental de Lima to fulfill his mission.

The video of Cliver Huamán, better known as Pol Deportes on social media, has been making the rounds and moving people all over the world since last Saturday, when the Copa Libertadores final between Flamengo and Palmeiras was played. At just 15 years old, the young journalist climbed to the top of one of the hills overlooking the Monumental de Lima and broadcasted from above the match that ended with Mengao as champions.

His story became an example of overcoming obstacles and a clear message that when there is will, anything is possible. Because, being underage, Cliver could not get accredited by Conmebol to cover the final from inside the stadium. However, that was not an obstacle for the intrepid journalist to accomplish his mission.

Determined to be at the final, the creator of Pol Deportes, who often narrates matches from his account, traveled more than 18 hours from his hometown Huampica to Lima to be present at the international tournament's final. He arrived very early at the stadium's surroundings and, even before the gates opened, he was already interviewing Brazilian fans.

Then, he hurried to reach the spot he had chosen to broadcast the match live: the top of the hill next to the stadium, the same one so often shown by the official broadcast. From there, he set up his phone on a tripod and narrated play by play Flamengo's 1-0 victory.

Once his work was done, Cliver said goodbye, perhaps without imagining that the video of his great work would go viral as it did and would have such an impact on internet users. Because, in addition to his promising future as a journalist, his video became an inspiration for those who saw it.

But for Pol Deportes there is still a long road ahead, and now Cliver aims to broadcast the Peruvian football playoffs between Alianza Lima and Sporting Cristal.
