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

Cliver Huamán, who could not get accredited due to being underage, climbed to the top of a hill next to the Monumental Stadium in Lima to fulfill his mission.

The video of Cliver Huamán, better known as Pol Deportes on social media, has been circulating and touching hearts worldwide since last Saturday, when the Copa Libertadores final between Flamengo and Palmeiras took place. At just 15 years old, the young journalist climbed to the top of one of the hills overlooking the Monumental Stadium in Lima and broadcasted from above the match that ended with Mengao as the champion.

His story became an example of overcoming obstacles and a clear message that when there is a will, anything is possible. Because, being underage, Cliver could not get accredited with Conmebol to cover the final from inside the stadium. However, that did not stop the daring journalist from achieving 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 native Huampica to Lima to be present at the international tournament's final. He arrived early at the stadium's vicinity and, even before the gates opened, began interviewing Brazilian fans.

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

After finishing his work, Cliver signed off, perhaps without imagining that the video of his great work would go viral as it did and generate the impact it had on internet users. Because in addition to his enormous future as a journalist, his video became an inspiration for those who watched it.
