The behaviour of Samuel Eto’o during a FIFA Under-20 Women’s World Cup game is at the heart of the sanctions he was handed on Monday (Sep. 30).
If the FIFA did not give details about the incident that lead to the sanction, the head of Cameroon football federation was judged to have broken 2 sections of the body’s Disciplinary Code.
He breached articles 13 and 14 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code which focus on Misconduct of players and officials.
On September 11, Brazil beat Cameroon 3-1 at the round of 16 game of the U-20 Women’s World Cup.
If it was Cameroon’s first participation in the competition it was also a disappointing exit.
The country’s head coach Hassan Balla criticized refereeing.
Eto’o’s six-month ban from attending matches of Cameroon’s national teams means he will miss the men’s national team games in qualifying groups for the 2026 World Cup. and 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
