FECAFOOT, the local football federation in Cameroon has rejected the resignation of its president, Sameul Eto’o.
Following the dismal display during the ongoing 2023 Africa Nations Cup in Ivory Cost that saw Cameroon eliminated on the round of 16, Eto’o sought to resign from his position.
However, a statement by FECAFOOT said they had rejected the resignation of the four-time African player of the year.
“At the end of discussions and subsequent deliberations, the members of the executive committee decided to maintain their current mandates and thus unanimously rejected the president’s resignation thereby renewing their confidence in him to continue with the same spirit of reconstruction and development of Cameroon football at all levels as envisaged in his plan adopted by the elective general assembly of Dec. 11, 2021.”
Previously, there have been allegations brought against Eto’o including match fixing, abuse of power and threatening violence.
These were however not proved.
