Cameroon FA president Eto'o sanctioned with six-month ban by Fifa for misconduct

The ex-Barcelona forward, who has been serving as the president of Fecafoot since 2021, has been suspended from attending all matches for both men's and women's teams across different age categories.

“The sanction was imposed in connection with the Fifa U-20 Women’s World Cup round-of-16 match between Brazil and Cameroon played in Bogota, Colombia, on 11 September 2024,” Fifa said in a statement.

Details regarding the incidents were not disclosed by Fifa’s disciplinary committee. The statement said Eto’o was deemed guilty of “offensive behaviour and violations of the principles of fair play,” as well as “misconduct” involving officials.

The ban follows a fine imposed on the 43-year-old by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) less than three months ago, stemming from an inquiry into purported breaches of its ethical and integrity standards.
