Samuel Eto’o Fils, the president of the Cameroon Football Federation (FECAFOOT), has dismissed rumours about his aspirations for the presidency of Cameroon, clarifying that he will not be challenging President Biya. The former football star clarified his stance through a social media post, addressing public speculation about his potential candidacy for the nation’s top office.

Eto’o emphasised his unwavering support for President Paul Biya, whom he voted for in 2018. He stated clearly, “As for me, let’s be clear: the presidency of FECAFOOT is not a stepping stone to the presidency of the Republic. I say it loud and clear again: I, Samuel Eto’o Fils, am not a candidate for the presidency of Cameroon.”

Eto’o explained that making this statement was essential to put an end to the undue focus on him, which he described as harmful. “It causes suffering to my family, frightens my friends, hinders our sports project, and poses a threat to my safety,” he said.

Currently embroiled in a dispute with the sports minister over the management of Cameroon’s national team, Eto’o reiterated his full support for the 91-year-old President Biya. “You, who love and appreciate me, know that I do not hide to express my ideas. Yes, in 2018, I voted for President Paul Biya. And I continue to give him my unwavering support. I stand by this. And I will not let anyone deprive me of my rights as a citizen,” he declared.

Eto’o also reflected on his lifelong dedication to football. “From playing since childhood to adulthood, and now as a sports executive, I have given my best,” he said. “Elected to lead FECAFOOT, I strive to uplift our football. I work twenty hours a day to provide our youth with the facilities that were lacking for my generation.”

Expressing gratitude to his friends and supporters, Eto’o said, “You plead my cause when lies harass me. You defend me against the defamation that seeks to bring me down. You block the way when bad faith overwhelms me. I thank you infinitely for that.”
