Samuel Eto'o, the President of the Cameroon Football Federation (FECAFOOT), has been handed a four-match ban for alleged misconduct during the team’s 2-0 loss to Morocco at the Africa Cup of Nations last Friday, according to a statement from the Confederation of African Football (CAF).

Eto'o was reportedly seen making an angry gesture in response to refereeing decisions in front of CAF President Patrice Motsepe.

There were also scuffles between players from both teams, prompting CAF to announce on Sunday that it had opened investigations into violent incidents during AFCON matches.

CAF's disciplinary board fined Eto'o $20,000, a decision FECAFOOT said "lacks any explicit justification."

"The expedited procedure leading to this decision raises serious concerns regarding the fundamental requirements of a fair process," FECAFOOT said on Thursday, adding it would appeal.

FECAFOOT reaffirmed its support for its president and its "commitment to respecting the principles governing credible disciplinary justice.”

Morocco will play Senegal in the final of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations on Sunday.
