Samuel Eto’o voted Cameroon FA President

Ex-Cameroon Captain, Samuel Eto’o has emerged as the President of the Cameroon Football Association.



The former Barcelona and Chelsea attacker defeated rival Seidou Mbombo Njoya, the fourth vice-president at the Confederation of African Football on Saturday.

The Four Time African footballer contested with seven other candidates for the highly esteemed position but 5 withdrew their candidacy on the morning of the election.

Eto’o speaking to the press said, “We have to bring footballers to the center of our policies, It is our role to ensure that those who play this discipline make a decent living out of it.”



The 40-year-Old Inter Milan and star has made it his priority to construct at least 10 stadia during his reign.

“I’ve spoken to the business community and we’re certain we’ll get the right investors who can accompany us in fulfilling our goals,” Eto’o had said prior to the polls.

He will now lead the affairs of Cameroon’s FA (Fecafoot) when the country welcomes the Africa Cup of Nations in January and February.
