Few days ago the football governing body FIFA placed a six months ban on Cameroon Football Federation (Fecafoot) chief Samuel Eto’o. The former Barcelona and Inter Milan star player was given the ban and that men he will not be attending the national team’s matches for six months and it was gathered that it was because he violated the football governing body rules and FIFA’s disciplinary regulations had to step in.
FIFA Says Why Samuel Eto’o was Given Six Months Ban
The former former African Player of year has been president of Fecafoot since 2021 and will now not be allowed to participate in any footballing activities and that mean he is now barred from all men’s and women’s games across various age groups. According to reports from FIFA disciplinary committee they said: “The sanction was imposed in connection with the FIFA Under-20 Women’s World Cup round-of-16 match between Brazil and Cameroon played in Bogota, Colombia, on 11 September 2024.”
They however did not give a clear offense he committed but the statement said Samuel Eto’o was deemed guilty of “offensive behaviour and violations of the principles of fair play” and “misconduct.”
The charges relate to Cameroon’s last-16 game against Brazil, which the South Americans won 3-1 after extra time. Samuel Eto’o cannot be seen in any of the male or female footballing activities for the next six months otherwise, it will attract a heavier punishment.
