As the curtains close on #AFCON2021, here’s a look back at how #refugees in #Cameroon partook in celebrations around the continent’s top #football tournament hosted by their country of asylum.
2- Young #refugees in #Yaoundé and #Douala met the #AFCON2021 mascot #Mola during the Trophy 🏆 tour before the opening game.
3- On the #AFCON2021 Opening Day, 100 refugees supported by @CAF_Online attending the opening game pitting hosts #Cameroon 🇨🇲against Burkina Faso 🇧🇫.
#CMRBFA.
4- Meanwhile, in #refugee settlements along #Cameroon’s Eastern façade, there were projections of all #AFCON2021 games, to give as many people as possible the chance to watch.
5- An all girls’ #refugee football team from #Minawao went on a road trip to #Garoua, to watch the @NGSuperEagles and their hero @Ahmedmusa718 take on Sudan 🇸🇩, on Matchday 2 of #AFCON2021, thanks to tickets from @CAF_Online.

6- A memorable day for the young #refugees, especially when @CAF_Online president, Dr Motsepe, invited the girls for a brief moment on the pitch.
7- Many thanks to @CAF_Online for supporting the inclusion of #refugees during #AFCON2021, and to #Cameroon 🇨🇲 for the legendary hospitality towards the 470,000 #refugees from the #CAR 🇨🇫, Nigeria 🇳🇬, and several other countries, welcomed by Cameroonians with open arms 🤗. END
