Eto'o Under Fire Over Missing Match Funds | MLS News

Samuel Eto’o, Cameroon’s football legend and current federation president, is under fire for allegedly siphoning over a million dollars from international match fees—funds reportedly funneled to his personal account without official federation records. Former Fecafoot executives filed complaints with FIFA’s ethics committee a year ago, accusing Etoo of financial mismanagement and claiming FIFA’s inaction stems from his close ties to President Gianni Infantino. Eto’o’s public defense of Infantino—including calling him a “brother” and pledging to campaign for his re-election—has fueled suspicions of undue influence. While FIFA insists its judicial bodies operate independently and rejects amplifying unsubstantiated claims, former vice-president Henry Njalla Quan Junior has added his own allegations of match-fixing and abuse of power, further intensifying scrutiny over whether Eto’o’s relationship with Infantino is shielding him from accountability.
