Samuel Eto’o is in Mauritius Island.
This marks a first since the 2024 CAN. The president of the Cameroon Football Federation will join the Indomitable Lions for the match against Mauritius.
Samuel Eto’o had not traveled with the Cameroonian team since coach Marc Brys took over. However, he will now accompany the players. His previous absence was due to a FIFA suspension, which was lifted in March 2025. This explains why he missed matches in Marrakech and Cape Verde last June.
According to a statement from the Mauritius Football Federation, Samuel Eto’o will lead the Cameroonian football delegation. Given the existing tensions among FECAFOOT leaders, it remains to be seen if Eto’o will have the chance to return to the locker room after the match.
