Cameroon FA rejects Samuel Eto’o resignation
The executive committee of the Cameroon Football Federation has rejected the resignation tendered by Samuel Eto’o who is the president of the body.
The former Barcelona, Inter Milan and Chelsea has been enmeshed in improper conduct, match-fixing and corruption.
The statement by the FA said, “At the end of discussions and subsequent deliberations, the members of the executive committee decided to maintain their current mandates and thus unanimously rejected the president’s resignation thereby renewing their confidence in him to continue with the same spirit of reconstruction and development of Cameroon football at all levels as envisaged in his plan adopted by the elective general assembly of Dec. 11, 2021.”
The FA has not commented on the future of head coach, Rigobert Song.
Nigeria’s Super Eagles dumped out the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon in the first knockout round of the ongoing TotalEneregies African Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast.
The defeat ended Cameroon’s title hopes after several years of trophy drought.
