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.

The judgement also ordered CAF to pay a sum of 8,000 CHF for cost.

Beyond the judgement however, Samuel Eto’o himself seems to have mend fences with CAF President Patrice Motsepe, following his visit to South Africa where he personally met Motsepe.
