Former Barcelona striker Eto'o tendered his resignation on Monday, just a few days on from <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-cm/lists/andre-onana-heading-back-man-utd-victor-osimhen-ademola-lookman-nigeria-victory-cameroon-afcon/blt1207873b1adc7f53" target="_blank">Cameroon's disappointing AFCON last-16 exit</a> at the hands of Nigeria. According to <a href="https://www.espn.co.uk/football/story/_/id/39467602/cameroon-football-federation-rejects-samuel-etoo-resignation-president" target="_blank">ESPN</a>, Eto'o offered to step down at an executive committee meeting that was called to assess the failed AFCON campaign, while encouraging other Fecafoot members "to do likewise in good faith."

WHAT HAPPENED?

Fecafoot have since released a statement confirming that Eto'o's resignation has been rejected, which reads: "At the end of discussions and subsequent deliberations, the members of the executive committee decided to maintain their current mandates and thus unanimously rejected the president's resignation thereby renewing their confidence in him to continue with the same spirit of reconstruction and development of Cameroon football at all levels as envisaged in his plan adopted by the elective general assembly of Dec. 11, 2021."

WHAT FECAFOOT SAID

Eto'o has received backing from his Fecafoot colleagues despite <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/mafia-samuel-eto-o-allegedly-threatening-message-ex-cameroon-fa-vice-president-fifa-match-fixing-abuse-power-claims/blt207a32db61085c73" target="_blank">being dogged by serious allegations</a> over the past year. Last week, The Athletic claimed to have seen WhatsApp messages and audio recordings allegedly supporting a series of accusations, including "match-fixing, abuse of power, physical threats, inciting violence and spreading false information in Cameroon." FIFA have received a file containing details of the allegations, which is also being investigated by the Confederation of African Football (CAF).

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Eto'o was already under investigation from CAF over allegations from "several Cameroonian football stakeholders", but the former Inter Milan and Chelsea player was "presumed to be innocent until an appropriate judicial body concludes otherwise." During his time as a full Cameroon international, Eto'o scored 56 goals in 118 appearances and played at four World Cups - while he still holds the record for the most African Player of the Year awards (four).
