Samuel Eto'o has been handed a six-month ban from attending any international matches involving Cameroon due to breaches of Fifa's disciplinary code, specifically regarding offensive behaviour and misconduct at a Under-20 Women’s World Cup match.
Fifa's disciplinary action comes after Eto'o attended a controversial Under-20 Women’s World Cup match against Brazil where his presence was linked to violations of fair play principles, leading to an immediate sanction preventing him from attending all categories of Cameroonian football matches.
The ban imposed on Eto'o is particularly impactful as Cameroon prepares for key matches in the Africa Cup of Nations. His ability to lead Fecafoot is now compromised given the ongoing qualifications against Kenya.
Eto'o's recent challenges with football governing bodies follow an earlier $200,000 fine from Caf for signing a contract with a betting company, which raised ethics concerns, highlighting ongoing scrutiny and regulatory challenges surrounding his leadership role.
