FECAFOOT President Eto'o Faces Probe Over Alleged Undisclosed Russia Payment
Yaoundé: The Association of Amateur Football Clubs of Cameroon (ACFAC) has requested a government probe into the Cameroonian Football Federation (FECAFOOT) and its chief Samuel Eto'o following media reports of alleged graft linked to foreign match payments.
Eto'o has been accused of improperly receiving a payment from the Russian Football Federation in connection with a friendly match between the two countries in October 2023.
According to ACFAC the Russian Football Union allegedly violated the terms of its contract with the Cameroonian federation FECAFOOT by transferring around 567,000 euros ($654,000) into a bank account that did not belong to the latter.
The association also announced its intention to file a lawsuit against former Barcelona and Inter Milan striker Eto'o in the Cameroonian courts, as well as a separate legal complaint in Russia against the Russian Football Union.
