The Confederation of African Football is set to investigate legendary Cameroonian footballer, Samuel Eto'o, over alleged improper conduct as president of FECAFOOT.

The former Barcelona player has been under serious pressure from stakeholders of Cameroonian football following his management of the federation.

His conduct has raised questions, leading to a report by members of the federation, who sent a formal complaint to the continent's governing body.

"CAF has received written statements from several Cameroonian football stakeholders to look into and investigate certain alleged improper conduct by Mr. Samuel Eto’o who is President of the Fédération Camerounaise de Football (“FECAFOOT”)," stated CAF on their official website.

"CAF is looking into these requests based on and in accordance with the CAF Statutes and Regulations. Whilst the allegations are prima facie serious, Mr. Samuel Eto’o is presumed to be innocent until an appropriate judicial body concludes otherwise.

"CAF will make no further announcement while the investigations are ongoing and will only make public statements when the proceedings have come to an end."

Eto'o could face potential removal from office if he is found guilty of breaching CAF's regulations.

The former Cameroon striker became FECAFOOT president in 2021, as reported by CNN.
