Popis: This text analyses how the Renouveau Sportif is constructing the Cameroonian state through a Nation branding of the CAN Total Energies Cameroon 2021 based on stadiums, the Indomitable Lions and political liturgies. This partisan political culture mobilizes these major sites of conflict in the representation of football for the Cameroon branding of the CAN. Drawing on the contributions of sport power and power branding, a one and plural geopolitics guides this analytical approach to account for the conflicts arising from the Branding around the competition. A mixed methodological approach consisting of interviews with resource persons and documentary resources from a media watch on stadiums, the Indomitable Lions and political liturgies, structures this analysis. These major sites of conflict in the representation of football will be presented as stages in the construction of the state through football, before being illustrated as arenas in this process.
