Shillong Lajong FC to celebrate the amazing NorthEast of India in unique video series

NorthEast India’s first ever I-League club Shillong Lajong FC has created an initiative to promote the NorthEast as a unique destination for travel by launching an online video series that celebrates the beauty of this corner of the country.

Using their Facebook and YouTube handles as a medium, the ‘Lajong Amazing NorthEast Diaries’ will take viewers on a journey through some of the best places to visit in the NorthEast sister states featuring local Lajong FC players.

A sneak peek of the Lajong Amazing North East Diaries was launched on the Facebook page (@ShillongLajongFC) and YouTube Channel (@SLFCOfficial) on Saturday, October 22 and the first video in the series, on Mizoram, will be screened on October 29 at 6pm. Highlights from the inaugural diary take viewers to the beautiful Aizawl city.

The Lajong family comprises players from all eight states of the NorthEastern region and team members put away their football boots to take on the role of guides and ambassadors of their respective home states, using their local knowledge and experience to highlight must-see locations in this exciting and informative online travel series.

Over the years Shillong Lajong has grown its online social media presence, with a Facebook following of over 2.35 lakh, making it the third-most popular I-League club on the social network. The club also has a further 10,000 plus followers on Twitter and 8,000 plus on Instagram and they hope that their fans embrace these Amazing NorthEast video series.
