CAF has announced its decision regarding the disciplinary and manipulation investigation launched in August 2023 concerning Cameroonian Football Federation President Samuel Eto'o.
The statement indicated that Eto'o, who entered into a paid ambassadorship agreement with a betting company, seriously violated CAF's principles of ethics, integrity, and sportsmanship and was fined 200 thousand dollars.
Regarding the investigation into allegations that Victoria United in Cameroon manipulated matches to be promoted to the 1st League, CAF reported that it concluded there was insufficient evidence of match manipulation.
