CAF is set to launch an investigation into the conduct of Samuel Eto’o who is President of the Fédération Camerounaise de Football (“FECAFOOT”).
The former Barcelona and Inter Milan striker, a legend in his homeland, was elected as Fecafoot leader in December 2021.
But concerns have been raised over the 42-year-old’s running of the organisation.
“CAF has received written statements from several Cameroonian football stakeholders to look into and investigate certain alleged improper conduct by Mr. Samuel Eto’o who is President of the Fédération Camerounaise de Football (“FECAFOOT”).
CAF is looking into these requests based on and in accordance with the CAF Statutes and Regulations. Whilst the allegations are prima facie serious, Mr. Samuel Eto’o is presumed to be innocent until an appropriate judicial body concludes otherwise.
CAF will make no further announcement while the investigations are ongoing and will only make public statements when the proceedings have come to an end” a section of the statement from the continent’s football governing body reads.
