FIFA Imposes Strong Sanction on Samuel Eto'o
The FIFA Disciplinary Committee has decided to impose a six-month ban on Samuel Eto'o, the president of the Cameroon Football Federation (FECAFOOT), preventing him from attending matches involving the Cameroon national teams.
Eto'o's suspension is due to violations of Articles 13 ("Offensive conduct and violations of fair play principles") and 14 ("Misconduct by players and officials") of FIFA's Disciplinary Code.
These violations are linked to the Under-20 Women's World Cup round of 16 match between Brazil and Cameroon, which took place on September 11 in Bogotá, Colombia.
"The sanction imposed on Mr. Eto'o will prevent him from attending matches of both the men's and women's national teams of FECAFOOT at any category or age group," FIFA stated, adding that the decision has been communicated to the president of the Cameroon Federation and is effective immediately.
