Cameroon legend Samuel Eto’o is under siege after a group representing amateur clubs in his country called for his resignation as the president of the country’s football federation, citing “grave irregularities” in the organisation.

According to BBC Sports Africa, Cameroon’s Amateur Clubs’ Association (ACFAC) voted 11-1 in favour of asking the four-time African Footballer of the Year to stand down last week.

ACFAC, who called for Cameroon’s sports minister to intervene, and mentioned the possibility of asking Fifa president Gianni Infantino to do the same, have listed a list of concerns, including the decision to change the Fecafoot president’s mandate from four to seven years saying it was both anti-statutory and illegal. It also highlighted the lack of publication of new statutes adopted last August.

There were also questions to answer, it said, about Eto’o’s decision to take an ambassadorial role with a sports betting company, which could be in violation of both Fifa and Fecafoot rules.

ACFAC said it had further concerns regarding the “arbitrary exclusion” of various high-ranking Fecafoot members who “criticised the opaque and very personal management” of Eto’o while also questioning an ongoing lack of transparency in Fecafoot’s financial dealings.

The former Cameroon striker, who lifted the Champions League with Barcelona and Inter Milan, was elected the FA boss in 2021 after defeating president Seidou Mbombo Njoya in the election with 43 votes from members of FECAFOOT’s general assembly.
