Cameroon Football Federation (FECAFOOT) president Samuel Eto’o has been handed a four-match ban for alleged misconduct during the team’s 2-0 defeat to hosts Morocco at the Africa Cup of Nations last Friday, the Confederation of African Football (CAF) said in a statement.
Eto’o reportedly made an angry gesture over refereeing decisions in the presence of CAF president Patrice Motsepe.
Players from both sides also jostled each other, and CAF said on Sunday it had opened an investigation into «violent clashes during AFCON» matches.
The CAF Disciplinary Board fined Eto’o $20,000, a decision that FECAFOOT said «does not contain any explicit justification.»
“The expedited procedure leading to this decision raises serious concerns about the fundamental requirements of a fair trial,” FECAFOOT said on Thursday, adding that it would appeal.
“FECAFOOT reaffirms its support for its President and its commitment to respecting the principles that define credible disciplinary justice,” it added.
Host country Morocco will play against Senegal in the final of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations on Sunday.
