Eto's dreams of getting a position in the CAF: it seems that they are currently far away!

The former legend of Barcelona, Inter Milan, Samuel Eto'o was elected president of the Cameroonian Football Federation, and in the past few months there have been a lot of news about the desire of the Cameroonian star to become a member of the executive committee of the Confederation of African football.

In the midst of dealing with the news about the former football star, a real obstacle appeared in the future of obtaining this position in CAF football, Samuel Eto'o was formally charged in January of 2024, and this accusation related to the case of match fixing in the Cameroon Premier Football League.

While the African Union did not find enough evidence to charge the Cameroonian legend, the federation found another major obstacle that contradicts the principles of ethics, integrity and sportsmanship in the statutes of the Confederation of African football, after he was close to becoming a global ambassador for 1XBet.

On the other hand, Eto said: "no one can prevent me from running for the executive body, there are several bodies that still have to decide and as long as they have not decided yet, I am not convicted and I should still be eligible to run."
