Cameroonian Football Federation President Samuel Eto’o has been suspended for four matches for misconduct during the Africa Cup of Nations defeat to Morocco.
The federation, known as FECAFOOT, said on Wednesday that the Confederation of African Football’s disciplinary committee had taken note of the decision to suspend the president with a $20,000 fine, but that there was “no apparent justification”.

“FECAFOOT further notes that the expedited process leading to this decision raises serious concerns regarding the basic requirements of a fair trial,” the federation said.
CAF said on Monday it was investigating incidents during the quarter-finals between Cameroon and Morocco and Algeria and Nigeria.
CAF did not refer to any specific incidents in the Morocco-Cameroon match, but the only notable one was the behavior of Eto’o, who was seen gesturing angrily at Moroccan counterpart Fouzi Lekjaa, with CAF president Patrice Motsepe also sitting nearby.
“FECAFOOT reaffirms its unwavering support to its president and its commitment to uphold the principles governing credible disciplinary justice,” the federation said.
