Football legend Samuel Eto’o receives a hefty fine for promoting an online casino

Samuel Eto’o, one of the most respected African footballers ever, has been fined by the Confédération Africaine de Football for his ambassadorship of online casino 1xBet. The fine is €184,596.

CAF launched an investigation into Eto’o’s behavior last August after complaints from various parties in the Cameroonian football world. The disciplinary committee ruled that Eto’o seriously violated the principles of ethics, integrity and sportsmanship. Eto’o’s lawyers have announced they will appeal this decision.

1XBET Sponsor of Cameroonian football

1XBET sponsors the top two divisions of men’s football in Cameroon as well as the men’s and women’s national teams. However, the rules of the world football governing body FIFA prohibit persons covered by their code from being involved in football-related betting.

Samuel Eto’o Escapes Match Fixing charges

Although Eto’o was found guilty of an ethics breach, the former Barcelona star was acquitted of match fixing. The disciplinary committee ruled that “there is insufficient evidence at this time.”

Dissatisfaction about the administration

CAF’s ruling is not expected to allay discontent in Cameroon over Eto’o’s leadership of football. Earlier this week, executives including former members of Fecafoot and the president of the professional football association urged the presidents of CAF and FIFA to speed up their investigations. They pointed out possible sanctions, including a lifelong ban.
