Cameroon football legend Samuel Eto’o will stay in charge of their national football association (FECAFOOT) for three years longer than it was expected, media reported on Sunday.Eto’o became the FECAFOOT president in December 2021, and his mandate should have lasted four years but is now prolonged to 2028.Eto’o: “I don’t see why an African country won’t win a World Cup. Why would that be impossible?”During the FECAFOOT general assembly on Saturday, the members voted for the upward revision of the president’s mandate.The former Real Madrid, Barcelona and Chelsea striker has been in office for nine months, but his presidency has been put under severe scrutiny after the news of his apparent tax evasion in Spain broke around New Year’s Eve.Eto’o sentenced to 22 months in prison for fiscal fraud!The former striker is listed as owing $1,111,610 to the Spanish tax office. In his statement in the Criminal Court of Barcelona, Eto’o has admitted the fraud but blamed his former agent, whom he has always referred to as “a second father”.Congratulations to Samuel Eto’o who’s just become a father of a 22-year-old woman!In fact, the former Cameroonian player filed a lawsuit against his former representative for alleged crimes of fraud and misappropriation in the management of his assets, a matter that is still in the investigation phase.”I recognize the facts, and I am going to pay, but let it be known that I was a child then and that I always did what my second father asked me to do,” said Samuel Eto’o.##NAJAVA_MECA_6596472##
