According to The Sun, Cameroon Football Federation President Eto'o has been exposed for intervening in the selection of the national team roster, sparking controversy over the omission of veteran striker Aboubakar.
Samuel Eto'o currently holds the Cameroon national team record with 56 goals in 118 matches, while Aboubakar, closely trailing, has scored 45 goals in 116 matches. It is reported that Eto'o has been accused of ordering the omission of Aboubakar to prevent his goal record from being broken.
After recently winning re-election, Eto'o sacked the head coach of the Cameroon national team last week and appointed David Pagou as interim head coach. The new roster not only excludes Aboubakar but also lacks Manchester United goalkeeper Onana, who was previously thought to have a strained relationship with Eto'o.
However, the chaos is far from over. Despite being sacked by the football association, Bris has insisted that he remains the head coach and submitted to the sports ministry that appointed him a list for the Africa Cup of Nations featuring Aboubakar and Onana, which directly conflicts with the version announced by the football association.
Cameroon is currently effectively in a "dual-head coach" situation, and this power rift has threatened their Africa Cup of Nations campaign, after domestic unrest had previously caused the team to miss out on qualification for next year's World Cup. Before the final squad deadline on December 11, government officials and football association representatives are urgently holding meetings to try to find a solution for the national team.

lol. Is he going to score 11-12 goals at AFCON? Aboubakar is getting pst his prime at 33, it’s going to be hard to break Eto’s goal record for the national team. I don’t think that’s a valid reason to exclude him from the national team list.

This is a big defamation. Eto'o is bigger than this. Abubakar, Onana and the others were not selected due to indiscipline and disunity they bring in the national team

please do ur investigation well before u post on social media. ABOUBAKA and ONANA couple with the SACK head coach BRYS they wrote a letter against the CAMEROON FOOTBALL FEDERATION ( ETO ) and they said it's very clear that's they don't takes any instruction from the CAMERROON FOOTBALL FEDERATION ( ETO ) that's they take instructions only from the MINISTER OF SPORTS. Eto is the one who makes ONANA to be whom he is today. He took him when he was nobody and send him to BARCELONA ACADEMY to his against Eto because Eto advise him to submit to his head coach ( RINGO BELL SONG ) during the 2022 WORLD CUP IN QATER . ONANA refuse and Park his bag and went to his club then he was in INTER MILAN. From then his relationship between him and Eto fell apart. Mark Brys the came as head coach in CAMERROON and he make a gang up some players against which ONANA and ABOUBAKA where the head to be speaking against Eto . The true is that's ONANA and ABOUBAKA should leave as they have

I agree with you. I guess it's Aboubakar's camp spreading such a news to discredit Eto'o. It's a shame what's going on with their football federation though.
