FIFA bans Samuel Eto'o from all football related activities

FIFA disciplinary panel confirmed the decision on its official website on Monday, September 30, 2024, after he was found guilty of violating fair play rules and misconduct of players. The decision means that Samuel Eto’o will not attend any game that involves Cameroon’s national team for both men and women.

Samuel Eto’o was sanctioned by FIFA following breaches of two articles of the world governing body’s disciplinary code. The incident occurred at the Under-20 Women’s World Cup last-16 game between Cameroon and Brazil on 11 September which the South Americans won 3-1 after extra time.
