Eto’o who is the President of the Cameroon football association Fecafoot, was in July 2024, fined $200,000 for a brand deal with an online gambling firm ruled to be an ethics violation by the Confederation of African Football.

His lawyers however announced victory in February 2005 after arguing at the appeals that only Caf’s independent ethics committee has jurisdiction over such cases.
