by

His candidacy for the presidency of the Cameroon Football Association (Fecafoot), announced Samuel Eto.

In particular, the former star – among others – of Barcelona and Inter spoke of “deception” on the part of his opponents, emphasizing: “I ask the opposing camp to be careful because we have received a lot».

He was impressed by the fact that in front of Fecafoot’s headquarters, a crowd of supporters was waiting for the 40-year-old Eto, who revealed that the outgoing administration offered him the position of vice-president, which he refused.

The veteran footballer had announced his intention to be a candidate on September 22, believing that it was time to “start the reconstruction work for Cameroonian football. And yesterday (17/11), Eto stated that “the current president of Fecafoot failed miserably».

«President of the Year, President of the Year“, Shouted the crowd on the arrival and departure of the former footballer, who remains very popular in his country.

The submission of Eto’s candidacy came at a time when Fecafoot has been in crisis for several months. The current president, Seydou Bobo Nzoya, was elected in 2018, but his election, which was challenged by several Cameroonian footballers, was annulled in mid-January by the Arbitration Sports Court (CAS).

It is worth noting that in 2018, Eto supported Nzoya’s candidacy, but now expresses his “disappointment”. «The promises made three years ago by the current president seemed to me worthy of interest for the future of our country“, Eto had said then.

Nominations for the election of the new president are scheduled for December.
