Eto’o an ex-international was elected President of the Cameroon Football Federation (FECAFOOT) on December 11, 2021
The president of Cameroonian Football Federation (FECAFOOT), Samuel Eto’o has offered to leave his position after the Super Eagles of Nigeria dumped his team out of the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
However, his resignation was rejected by the executive committee of the Cameroon Football Federation after a meeting on Monday.

He has since then been dogged by allegations of improper conduct, match-fixing and corruption.
The federation met to evaluate the Indomitable Lions’ outing at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
The meeting started with Eto’o offering to resign from the role and also invited the other members “to do likewise in good faith.”
But FECAFOOT in a statement which referred to the date Eto’o took over as president, rejected his proposition saying: “At the end of discussions and subsequent deliberations, the members of the executive committee decided to maintain their current mandates and thus unanimously rejected the president’s resignation thereby renewing their confidence in him to continue with the same spirit of reconstruction and development of Cameroon football at all levels as envisaged in his plan adopted by the elective general assembly of Dec. 11, 2021.”
The resolution, however, was mum on the future of the embattled indomitable Lion’s head coach, Rigobert Song.
Cameroon after a draw and a loss in their first two group games at 2023 AFCON, edged past Gambia in the final group fixture to qualify from the group stage.
They were eventually eliminated from the competition by harsh-rivals, Nigeria in the round of 16 after suffering a 2-0 defeat.
