It seems there was tension between the president of Fecafoot and the captain of the Indomitable Lions, Samuel Eto’o, which had raised concerns among Cameroonians. However, after the Lions’ success over Togo in the World Cup qualifiers for Brazil 2014, there are reports that the Minister of Sports, Adoum Garoua, and Iya Mohammed, the president of Fecafoot, entered the locker room to congratulate the Cameroonian players. During this interaction, Samuel Eto’o and Iya Mohammed exchanged a kiss.
This gesture is seen as a positive development, indicating a potential easing of tensions and fostering a more positive environment within the team. It’s mentioned that Samuel Eto’o had previously refused to shake hands with the president of the federation during the customary greeting before the Cameroon-Togo match.
The hope is that this gesture will contribute to a healthier atmosphere within the team and that the captain, Samuel Eto’o, will not feel threatened. Sports can be emotionally charged, and it’s encouraging to see efforts being made to reconcile differences for the benefit of the team and the nation. If you have any specific questions or if there’s anything else you’d like to know, feel free to ask!
