Cameroon Festival Tournament- South Africa

The Cameroon Festival Tournament is a Cameroon’s hallmark event in South Africa that draws together Cameroon Nationals living in South Africa, local people, business, youth, community organisations, government, media and visitors from all over Gauteng and beyond on an annual basis to celebrate Cameroon’s richness, diversity, enterprise, arts, culture and heritage.

The Cameroon Festival Tournament combines an entertainment programme including football tournament, music, dance and other products, an outdoor area for food and drink vendors selling traditional as well as branded fare and activity pavilion and a business expo for the corporate.

In 2011 the Cameroon Festival Tournament was launched as a North West Festival Tournament (North West being one of the 10 provinces of Cameroon). North West Festival Tournament ran successfully for 3 consecutive years and by virtue of its success and the crowd it has pulled over the years, we then saw the need to transform it to Cameroon Festival Tournament in other to accommodate all Cameroonians living in South Africa. A tournament that started with 4 Teams made up of 88 players has now grown to 8 Teams made up of 176 players with 40 non Cameroonians players involved as a symbol of unity, solidarity and social cohesion. This year’s Cameroon festival tournament is taking place at Kensington, Johannesburg with the theme “Cameroon Festival Tournament Say NO to Xenophobia”

In addition to the marketing and branding benefits, the Cameroon Festival Tournament offers sponsors the opportunity to promote Cameroon Heritage, advance social cohesion in South Africa and boost economic development.

We, the organisers are confident the venue and plans for 2015 will enable us to take the Cameroon Festival Tournament to even greater heights in future years, reaching a larger and wider audience stretching into Africa. We invite sponsors to review the activities and sponsorship opportunities described herein.
