The President of the Cameroonian Football Federation (FECAFOOT), Samuel Eto’o, has been suspended for four games in connection with an incident during the Africa Cup of Nations match against Morocco. This decision was made by the disciplinary committee of the Confederation of African Football (CAF), which also imposed a $20,000 fine. FECAFOOT has expressed concerns about the lack of explicit justification for this decision.

FECAFOOT has also raised issues regarding the expedited procedure that led to this decision, emphasizing concerns over the fundamental requirements of a fair trial. CAF announced it was investigating incidents during the quarterfinals involving Cameroon, Morocco, Algeria, and Nigeria. While no specific incidents were mentioned regarding the Morocco-Cameroon match, the conduct of Eto’o during the game was noted.
