« Il a changé le football » : Samuel Eto'o apporte son soutien à Gianni Infantino
While several major players in world football are calling for a change at the head of FIFA, Samuel Eto'o, president of the Cameroonian Football Federation (FECAFOOT), defended Gianni Infantino in an interview with CNN .
Following the press release published by a group of former football stars — including Emmanuel Petit, Robert Pirès and Mikaël Silvestre — openly attacking the current leadership of the international body, the former legendary number nine of the Indomitable Lions stepped up to support the current head of world football.
The former FC Barcelona and Inter Milan striker believes that the FIFA boss has done nothing wrong and has greatly contributed to the development of African football: “ He has helped our continent. He has helped our federations to develop much faster, and we must recognize that. We should support him for everything he has accomplished so far. ”
A legacy to be defended as the elections approach
Samuel Eto'o also emphasized the legacy left by the Italian-Swiss leader: " He changed football. He gave nations that had never had the chance to participate in the most beautiful tournament: the World Cup. "
For the president of FECAFOOT, the media and political storm that Gianni Infantino is going through is mainly explained by the upcoming elections: " All this is happening solely because there are elections on the horizon. "
While Gianni Infantino remains, for the time being, the only declared candidate for his own succession for the March 2027 election, the former Cameroonian international called on him to "put back on the table" his development project if he were to be re-elected.

Eto veut le poste de motsepe et il est prêt à lecher des culs pour arriver à ses fins.
Un vrai opportuniste...
Mais dès que les européens ont changé pour dire ligue 1, ligue 2, Champions League, Europa League, nous avons aussi changé. 🤪. Tiedo.
