Barcelona legend and three-time Champions League winner Samuel Eto’o is back in the headlines for the reported mishandling of thousands of dollars worth of international match fees, with FIFA accused of failing to properly investigate the president of the Cameroonian Football Federation (Fecafoot).
Sporting Intelligence first reported last year concerns over a $600,000 match fee from a friendly between Mexico and Cameroon in June 2023 in San Diego which appeared to have disappeared, and The Times have now added accusations of mishandling more than $580,000 (€500,000) that Russia paid nearly three years ago for an October 2023 friendly match against Cameroon.
