Samuel Eto'o retains Cameroon FA presidency

Samuel Eto'o retains Cameroon FA presidency

The 44-year-old had taken over the position in 2021 and retained the role after a landslide victory where he accumulated 85 votes out of the 87 cast, with two deemed invalid.

Eto'o reacted with a statement and a photo on Instagram of himself on a video call with FIFA President Gianni Infantino.

"This day will remain memorable for my team and me, our delegates renewed their confidence, confirming our re-election and validating our work" stated the former Barcelona and Inter Milan star.

"It was made all the more special by the warm call from FIFA President, Mr. Gianni Infantino," he added.

"Mr. President, I am deeply honoured by your congratulations. I reaffirm my commitment to working for the development of Cameroonian and African football, in line with the vision of CAF President Dr. Patrice Motsepe."

The four-time African Player of the Year will be hoping the Indomitable Lions can give a good showing at the upcoming 2025 African Cup of Nations in Morocco as they search for a sixth title.
