The boss of FECAFOOT, Samuel Eto'odid not sit idly by after the suspension inflicted on him by the International Football Federation (FIFA) for inappropriate behavior during the match between the “Lionesses” to “Brazilian” in Women's Under-20 World Cup.
As a reminder, the Disciplinary Committee, the governing body of world football, has banned Samuel Eto'o to attend the matches of the different Cameroonian selections for a period of six months.
A sanction which was not to the taste of the former scorer of the FC Barcelona who responded with a press release published on the website of the Cameroonian Football Federation.
