The Association of Amateur Football Clubs of Cameroon (ACFAC) has called for an investigation into the Cameroonian Football Federation and its president, Samuel Eto'o, following media reports alleging corruption. The dispute centers around a payment of approximately 567,000 euros ($654,000) received by Eto'o from the Russian Football Federation in relation to a friendly match between the two nations in October 2023.
ACFAC alleges that the Russian Football Union breached the terms of its contract with the Cameroonian federation Fecafoot by depositing the funds into an account not owned by Fecafoot. The organization has also announced its intention to sue Eto'o in Cameroonian courts, alongside a separate legal complaint in Russia against the Russian Football Union.
In a statement last month, Eto'o defended Fifa president Gianni Infantino, claiming he "hasn’t done anything wrong" despite facing pressure to resign over a controversial World Cup sell-off proposal.
