Cameroon Football Federation president Samuel Eto’o
Cameroon Football Federation president Samuel Eto’o has been elected as a member of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) Executive Council (Exco).
Eto’o, who was initially banned by CAF, was cleared in March by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).
This ruling made him eligible to contest for a seat on the supreme decision-making board of African football.
The former Barcelona and Inter Milan striker was previously sanctioned for signing an ambassadorial deal with a betting company.
Eto’o was elected to the Exco as the sole candidate from the Central Africa region during the CAF Congress in Cairo on Wednesday, March 12, 2025.
He will serve on the Exco alongside Ghana Football Association president Kurt Okraku, who was also elected.
Meanwhile, CAF president Patrice Motsepe has been re-elected for another four-year term following an impressive first tenure.
