The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has suspended Samuel Eto’o, President of the Cameroon Football Federation (FECAFOOT), for four games due to alleged misconduct during Cameroon’s 2-0 loss to hosts Morocco at the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) last Friday.
Eto’o allegedly made an irate gesture against refereeing decisions in front of CAF President Patrice Motsepe.
CAF opened investigations into violent altercations during AFCON games following a brawl between players from both teams.
According to The Independent, Eto’o was fined $20,000 by the CAF disciplinary board, a decision that FECAFOOT promptly denounced as “lacking any explicit justification.”

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