The world football governing body, FIFA has placed a six months ban on Cameroon Football Federation (FecaFoot) chairman, Samuel Eto’o.

The former Barcelona star has been banned from attending any international matches involving his country.

He was sanctioned following breaches of two articles of the Fifa disciplinary code.

The ban by a Fifa disciplinary panel was issued in connection with the Under-20 Women’s World Cup last-16 game between Cameroon and Brazil on 11 September which the South Americans won 3-1 after extra time.

The 43-year-old is now prevented from attending all football matches involving men’s and women’s representative sides from Cameroon, covering all categories and age groups.

Fifa said the sanction would come into force immediately and that Eto’o, who can appeal the decision, had been notified.

Cameroon’s men face Kenya in a qualification double-header for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in October.

Eto’o had chaired a meeting in Douala earlier on Monday to discuss preparations ahead of the visit of the Harambee Stars on 11 October.
