Samuel Eto'o: The 500,000 Euro Case Advances to a New Stage Before the TCS

On October 13, 2026, the Criminal Special Court (TCS) registered a complaint filed by the Cameroonian Amateur Football Clubs Association (ACFAC) regarding the management of public funds for Cameroon’s international matches against Uzbekistan, South Korea, Mexico, and Russia. The investigation concerns suspicions of double funding, where some expenses may have been covered both by the state and the match organizers. This step follows revelations about payments amounting to hundreds of thousands of euros related to the October 2023 Cameroon-Russia friendly match, and does not imply established irregularities or criminal responsibility.
