FIFA bans Samuel Eto’o

The FIFA Disciplinary Committee said on Monday that it had banned the president of the Cameroon Football Federation, Samuel Eto’o Fils for six months.

The ban will include a non-entry into games played by Cameroon’s football teams in all categories. FIFA said Eto’o breached articles 13 (Offensive behaviour and violations of the principles of fair play) and 14 (Misconduct of players and officials) of the FIFA Disciplinary Code.

“The sanction was imposed in connection with the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup™ round-of-16 match between Brazil and Cameroon played in Bogotá, Colombia, on 11 September 2024.” FIFA wrote.
