The Disciplinary Jury of the Confederation of African Football (“CAF”) met and ruled on the case concerning the President of the Cameroon Football Federation (“FECAFOOT”), Mr. Samuel Eto’o Fils.
Mr Eto’o was accused of fixing football matches and violating principles of ethics and integrity.
The Disciplinary Jury considered that, as things stood, there was insufficient evidence to find Mr Samuel Eto’o Fils and Mr Valentin Nkwain guilty of match manipulation.
However, the Disciplinary Jury considered that Mr. Eto’o seriously violated the principles of ethics, integrity and sportsmanship provided for in Article 2 paragraph 3 of the CAF Statutes by signing a brand ambassador contract with the company 1XBET in exchange for remuneration and consequently sentenced Mr. Eto’o to a fine of USD 200,000.
