FECAFOOT comex says CAF sabotaging Eto’o’s image

The executive committee of the Cameroon Football Federation met on Friday, August 11, and denounced CAF’s statement on “alleged improper conduct” by Samuel Eto’o.

While reiterating their support for the FECAFOOT president, the members expressed disappointment at the communique published by CAF on its website on August 9.

The confederation had said it was contacted by several Cameroonian stakeholders over the alleged “poor” management of the Cameroon Football Federation by Eto’o.

The executive committee members said such a declaration by CAF was “inappropriate” and aims at “tarnishing the image of Samuel Eto’o as well as that of the Cameroon Football Federation.”

“Consequently, the members of the executive committee of the Cameroon Football Federation invite CAF to be more prudent in the treatment of complaints submitted to its attention and call on the confederation to withdraw the said communique from its platforms” a section of the communique signed by first vice president Eko Celine read.

She indicated that the executive committee members are waiting for the elements of the complaints CAF said it received from “several Cameroonian stakeholders.”

Before the meeting held by the FECAFOOT executive committee, Eto’o’s lawyer, Elam Bony Privat, had also released a statement expressing shock at CAF’s communique which he said was “hasty”.
