In a recent interview with FRANCE 24, Samuel Eto'o, the ex-football legend and current president of the Cameroonian Football Federation, expressed strong support for FIFA president Gianni Infantino, amidst ongoing criticism of his leadership.
Eto'o highlighted the significant contributions Infantino has made to African football, stating, "everything he has brought to African football" justifies the support from the continent. He emphasized that African federations stand united in defending what they deem right in light of the unique challenges they face.
The former player’s endorsement of Infantino comes at a time when the FIFA president's re-election is under scrutiny, but Eto'o's commitment reflects a broader sentiment among African football leaders.
