African football’s governing body CAF, has imposed a 20,000 U.S. dollar fine and a four-game ban on Cameroon Football Federation (FECAFOOT) president Samuel Eto’o for allegedly misbehaving during his team’s loss to Morocco in the Africa Cup of Nations quarterfinal.
Eto’o was reportedly seen making an angry gesture over refereeing decisions in the presence of CAF President Patrice Motsepe.
Players from both sides also jostled each other, and CAF said on Sunday it had opened investigations into violent confrontations during AFCON matches.
FECAFOOT confirmed the sanction in a statement released Wednesday night, stressing that the ruling “lacks any explicit justification”.
The federation also pointed out that the disciplinary process was expedited and did not meet the standards of a fair trial.
“FECAFOOT acknowledges the decision of its president to exercise, within the prescribed time limits and procedures, the appeals processes provided for by the applicable regulations,” the federation said, reiterating its full support for Eto’o and affirming its commitment to the principles of justice and fair sporting discipline.
