Caf said Eto'o violated its principles of sportsmanship during Cameroon - Morocco quarter-final. Former Cameroon star Samuel Eto'o has been handed a four-match ban and fined $20,000 (£14,960) after being found guilty of misconduct by a Confederation of African Football (Caf) disciplinary panel. A Caf statement said that Eto'o, now president of his nation's football federation (Fecafoot), had violated its principles of sportsmanship during the 2026 Africa Cup of Nations quarter-final between Cameroon and Morocco. Fecafoot then expressed support for its president in a statement on Wednesday, while suggesting Eto'o would appeal against the sanction. He has faced accusations of improper conduct and poor management, with some football stakeholders also complaining of grave irregularities within Fecafoot.
