Samuel Eto’o is at the center of controversy after being rocked in a scandal like President of the Cameroonian Football Federation after the conversation was leaked which he hid at the beginning of the year and leaves him in a very compromised position.
As it seems in the audio leaked on social networks, That’s it the president of the Victoria Unitedwho were playing in Cameroon’s second division at the time and had been promoted a few weeks earlier, something in which the former Barça player could be involved.
These conversations published by the Camfoot portal, which quickly went viral in Cameroon, from January 2 and 3 and stars Eto’o and Valentine Gwain, president of Victoria Unitedwhere they talked about arbitration-related protests as they battled for promotion. “There are things we can do, but you have to be careful brother”Eto’o said and at Gwain’s insistence he replies that: “I haven’t even had time to get home yet. I’m out, brother. I don’t have time to go home and work with the president (of the umpires association) because I can’t call the umpires directly and tell them to be careful.. But I can work with the president”.
At various points in this conversation, Eto’o reminded him that they already had talks in Qatar on the subject, although he did not specify anything else, but according to the Camfoot portal it was a conversation in which he promises that Victoria United, his team, will get him promotion because Gwain has supported him in his project to become president.
“Stay calm, we give you the three points and we suspend the referee. But let me go back to Cameroon. Arrived on the 3rd (January) evening. So see you in the office on the 4. I’m going to rule this ref out and disbar anyway. See you in the office on the 4th and that’s how I’ll summon the president of referees,” Eto’o continued in the conversation, insisting that. “It is better that we meet calmly. You even organize two days, you invite your girls to Yaoundé, we meet directly, we talk and you leave”. And more, because there is a relationship with the president of the league because “he has power. From there, he along with his commissions will be able to suspend even the president of the referees”.
gwainAnnoyed by the latest arbitration, he accused Fokoule, president of the arbitrators, of wanting to hurt him, in which That’s it answer that “No, no, no, no. Our club, Opopo (nickname of Victoria United) must go up to the first division, that’s our goal. The three of us (along with the referee and league presidents) will meet and we will talk carefully and sort it all out.”
Finally, the Victoria United he finished with the emerging champions of Cameroon’s second division in April, thus achieving promotion. And this is the second promotion in three years, because in 2020, with Eto’o in his position, he was promoted from Third to Second, something that now looks dubious. Furthermore, Idris Youssouf, the team’s goalie, was ruled out mid-season after an audio was leaked in which he claimed that Victoria United was fixing matches to achieve promotion.
