Samuel Eto'o, president of the Cameroonian Football Federation (FECAFOOT), has been suspended for four games by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) for alleged misbehavior during Cameroon's Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) loss to Morocco. The CAF disciplinary committee also issued a $20,000 fine. FECAFOOT acknowledged the decision on Wednesday, January 14, 2026, but stated it lacked justification and raised concerns about the fairness of the expedited procedure. CAF had announced an investigation into match incidents during the quarterfinals, including the Cameroon-Morocco game where Eto'o was seen gesturing angrily towards the Moroccan counterpart. FECAFOOT has expressed its support for Eto'o and its commitment to fair disciplinary justice.
