Eto'o Banned: Cameroon FA Cries Unfair Trial
15 Jan
Summary
- Cameroonian FA president suspended for four games.
- FECAFOOT disputes the lack of justification and fair trial.
- Eto'o was seen gesturing angrily during a match.
Cameroonian Football Federation president Samuel Eto'o has received a four-game suspension and a $20,000 fine from the Confederation of African Football (CAF) disciplinary committee. This decision stems from alleged misbehavior during Cameroon's Africa Cup of Nations match against Morocco.
FECAFOOT has formally expressed its disagreement with the ruling, stating that the suspension lacks explicit justification and raises serious concerns about the fairness of the disciplinary process. The federation reaffirmed its support for Eto'o and its commitment to just disciplinary proceedings.
CAF's investigation into match incidents at the Africa Cup of Nations, including the Morocco-Cameroon quarterfinal, is ongoing. While CAF has not detailed specific infractions, Eto'o's visible frustration and animated gestures towards Moroccan counterpart Fouzi Lekjaa during the game were widely noted.
