Cliver Huamán, a 15-year-old known as “Pol Deportes”, became a media sensation after he commentated on the final of the Copa Libertadores. Due to his age, the boy did not have accreditation to access the main commentary box. However, his passion for football and his dream of becoming a commentator led him to a hill near the Monumental Stadium in Lima.
The teenager traveled an arduous 18-hour journey from his hometown of Andahuaylas to Lima. From there, he embarked on another climb to the top of a mountain, where he set up his own commentary platform. He placed his phone on a tripod, turned on the light, and began his live broadcast, while his younger brother served as his producer on the ground.
The live stream quickly went viral, racking up millions of views and thousands of new followers in an instant. His enthusiastic commentary captivated fans worldwide. Even world-renowned Argentine producer Bizarrap commented on his work with a simple but powerful word: "Great".
During his broadcast, Cliver shared a message that resonated with many: "It doesn't matter where I am… I'm just doing what I love." Fans of Flamengo embraced him as their team's "official commentator" for the night. Although Flamengo won the match 1-0 to claim the Libertadores title, the real story of the evening was Cliver's journey—a story of a boy who overcame obstacles, climbed a mountain, and took a step closer to his dream of becoming a professional commentator.
