Belgium use brilliant South Park parody to reveal U21 squad as Stephane Omeonga makes the cut

Social media has taken the previously turgid affair of squad and signing announcements onto a new level in recent years.

And Belgium might just have topped the lot this evening with a brilliant South Park parody clip which was used to announce their team for the upcoming European Under 21 Championships in Italy.

The Red Devils have produced a superb 2min 14 sec video in the style of the cult American adult animation to reveal the players who have made the cut.

And among them is Stephane Omeonga - the Genoa midfielder who spent the second half of the season on loan at Hibs and who has since said he be open to a return to Easter Road next season.

Omeonga said after the final game of the season: "Unfortunately the season has come to the end..

"What an experience I lived here. I have no words to describe this wonderful adventure!

"I don’t post this picture to say goodbye but just to say a big THANK YOU to all of you, for the way you treated me."

The announcement clip was widely shared on social media after it hit Twitter.

It even includes a 'who killed Kenny?' moment as defender Jur Schryvers is dropped on his head during the 'unveiling'.
