Former Barcelona, Real Madrid and Real Mallorca striker Samuel Eto’o continues to make the headlines for all the wrong reasons as President of the Cameroonian FA.
Earlier in the week, he was accused by a former Vice-President of trying to ruin Andre Onana’s international career. Now, he has been accused of helping to fix matches in the national leagues.ç
According to Camfoot, via La Razon, Eto’o had promised to ensure two sides would be promoted to the top division in Cameroon. A conversation has been published where Eto’o allegedly tells Valentine Gwain, President of Victoria United.
“There are things we can do, but you have to be very discreet brother. I’m out of the country. I haven’t even had time to go home and work with the president because I can’t call the refs directly and tell them to be careful. But I can work with the president [of the referees].”
“Don’t worry, we’ll give you your three points and we will suspend the referee. But let me at least come back to Cameroon. I arrive on the 3rd (of January) in the evening. So we’ll meet in the office on the 4th. But I’m going to discard this referee anyway. I’m going to disqualify him. On the 4th we’ll meet in the office, and that’s when I’ll summon the president of the referees.”
“It’s better that we meet discreetly.Maybe you organize two days, you invite your wives to Yaounde, we see each other discreetly, we talk and you leave. It’s important to have a good relationship with the president of the league. He has the power. And from there, he, with his commissions, will be able to suspend even the president of the referees.”
Victoria United would be promoted to the top division in April of this year. as of yet Eto’o is yet to respond to these accusations, but it is pointed out by Cadena Cope, FIFA went on to give the Cameroonian FA a fresh €6.5m grant, just days after this conversation was made public.

Am a Cameroonian and base in the Country. Am not a fan of Eto'o but I have been following this issue for some time now. All this bla bla bla Eto'o did this Eto'o did that we know where it's coming from. Those who have been feeding fat from the money of the federation can no long have access today so the best way is to sabotage Eto'o who has been doing a very great work at the federation since he came in. It's true that Eto'o may have made some few errors like any other human being but Many young talented Cameroonian who were frustrated and I look for unlawful way to go out of the Country now have hopes today that they can end a salary from their football talent thanks to Eto'o. Many who have been eating fat from the federation are now frustrated and are looking for every means to remove Eto'o but they will not succeed because Pichichi have the majority of Cameroonian youth behind him.
James you are one of those who don't longer have access 😂

Totally confused administration. Hope this is not because of the scandal and quid pro quo third-party arrangements. Law suits everywhere. One All sports has not been paid! Case with le Coq sportif not settled. Njalla Quan has already hinted how these contracts are negotiated like a family business without involving the necessary stakeholders in the department. We are watching

Even if he is involved in match fixing as they claim, 90% of Cameroonians are happy with the way he is handling the federation. We have never had a federation president as transparent as etoo and that is why some of his subordinates dislike him because they are unable to give accounts in how the spend money given to them by the federation.

Africans and powerful positions don’t really mix …. It’s hard to see an African not misusing their position of power…. You can serch from Egypt to Nigeria and from South Africa to Senegal …. It’s all the same story
