Community Football Viewing Event

In February 2024, during the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), Greater Bayelsa and [Goldcoast Developmental Foundation](https://goldcoast.ng/) partnered to organize football viewing centers in different rural communities, reaching more than 6,000 people across the participating locations.

The multiple community-based centers allowed residents to watch and celebrate the match within their own communities. Each location created an accessible and vibrant space for local participation, connection, and shared excitement.

By distributing the viewing experience across different rural communities instead of concentrating it in one central place, the initiative strengthened inclusion, community spirit, and local participation.
