Jouvence Veteran Club (JVC) of Yaounde may be young, but it is already making great strides. In just three years of existence (for it was created in 2012) it has had two executive bureaus – a fact which reveals the democratic spirit that runs through the club.
    The new executive bureau of JVC which is made up of 13 members headed by the effervescent, dynamic and innovative Asong Fualefac was voted on 14 February 2015 and installed on 21 March 2015. Full of pump and colour and rich in entertainment, the installation ceremony took place at the club house in the Yaounde Carrefour Jouvence neighbourhood and was attended amongst others by members of other veteran clubs such as Ancien Bonas also of Yaounde.
    Speaking on the occasion, President Asong Fualefac expressed his gratitude to his fellow JVC members for enabling him to have a landslide victory over his opponent at the election. Amongst other things, he praised the democratic spirit of the club and promised to take JVC to greater heights by indulging in flagship activities that would be appreciated by all.
It took no time for the president to start fulfilling his promise. The very next day, i.e. on Sunday, 22 March 2015, he led a delegation of the club to an orphanage in the administrative quarters of Yaounde known as Centre d’accueil des enfants en détresse where they donated food items and other gifts.

    Talking to The Median after the visit, Asong explained: “That is part of the innovation I am bringing to JVC during my two-year mandate. We are not only concerned with sporting and leisure activities, we will also be reaching out to the needy for we have a humanitarian mission. We want to put a smile on the faces of distressed people. This change is highly encouraged by members of the general assembly who are all behind me.”
    What is preoccupying JVC now is preparations ahead of the three-day national veteran tournament billed for 1 to 3 May 2015 in Bamenda. “Although we are a young club,” the JVC president told us, “our intention is to win this year’s trophy and stamp our name in the annals of veteran football in Cameroon.”
    As to whether JVC is a club only for Anglophones, Asong Fualefac responded in the negative. He said the club is open to all Cameroonians irrespective of ethnic group, region or linguistic expression. In their constitution, he went on, English, French and pidgin are used, which shows that there is no discrimination in JVC.
    On a concluding note, Asong Fualefac thanked their sister club Ancien Bonas which is more or less like their godmother. He acknowledged that it was thanks to Ancien Bonas that JVC participated in the national veteran tournament for the first time and said it was owing to the friendly ties they have with the club that they played their gala match with them on 21 March 2015.
