Football promoter Chi Chido Francois Mitterand has reinforced his commitment to football development in the North West Region with the donation of a complete modern sound system to the Bamenda 1 Proximity Stadium.
The equipment package includes large JBL speakers installed around the stadium and a central sound management system designed to coordinate all matchday audio operations. The system will be used for official announcements such as starting XI line-ups, substitutions, bookings, goals, and attendance figures — significantly improving organization and professionalism during games.
The equipment was officially handed over to the Mayor of Bamenda 1, Mbigha Felix, by Nji Nelson and Joshua Kosimbom, who represented Chi Mitterand at the ceremony. The football promoter is currently away in Gabon but ensured the delivery and installation of the system proceeded as planned.
The sound system was put into use immediately over the weekend when PWD Bamenda hosted Panthère du Ndé in an Elite One encounter. The Abakwa Boys celebrated the occasion with a 2–0 victory, while the new public address system efficiently handled match announcements throughout the game.
A former President of Yong Sports Academy and ex-player of NQSA, Mitterand has built a reputation as a passionate investor in football projects and tournaments across Cameroon. As President of the Cameroon Association of Football 7 and a devoted supporter of Arsenal F.C., he continues to channel private-sector support into improving local football structures.
The installation of the modern JBL sound system marks another milestone in efforts to professionalize football operations in Bamenda, ensuring clearer communication, better fan engagement, and enhanced organization for future matches at the Proximity Stadium.
