Samuel Eto'o's Overbearing Influence on Cameroon's National Football Team

| Management and Leadership in Sports
Samuel Eto'o, a celebrated former footballer and current president of the Cameroon Football Federation (Fecafoot), is facing criticism for his excessive involvement in the national team's affairs. Eto'o, who has a history of influencing team decisions, has been accused of overstepping his role by giving tactical instructions and undermining the coaching staff, including head coach Rigobert Song. This behavior was evident during the Africa Cup of Nations and the FIFA World Cup in Qatar. Critics, including journalist Jean Bruno Tagne and former Cameroon international Alexandre Song, argue that Eto'o's actions do not allow the team the freedom to operate independently. The situation escalated with the sidelining of goalkeeper Andre Onana after a disagreement with Eto'o, highlighting the tension within the team.

| World Cup
Vincent Aboubakar played a pivotal role in preventing Cameroon's World Cup exit by contributing to a draw against Serbia. Coming off the bench, Aboubakar scored and shifted the momentum for Cameroon, who were trailing 2-1. Despite some first-half mistakes, Cameroon managed to secure a 3-3 draw, with goals from Jean-Charles Castelletto, Aboubakar, and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting. Serbia's goals came from Strahinja Pavlović, Sergej Milinković-Savić, and Aleksandar Mitrović. Cameroon's chances of advancing from Group G are slim, as they must defeat Brazil in their final Group H match.

| Sports Representation
Despite Africa's 54 FIFA member nations, only five African teams will participate in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, sparking debate over fair representation. Europe, with 55 countries, dominates with 13 spots. The article discusses the complexities of World Cup berth allocation, regional disparities, and the impact on African football. Former players like Patrick Mboma and Aaron Mokoena express concerns over the fairness and infrastructure issues, while CAF executive Moses Magogo deems the current five berths reasonable. The expansion of the World Cup to 48 teams in 2026 will provide additional spots, but concerns remain about the balance of representation.

| Africa Cup of Nations
Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana was excluded from the Cameroon squad for their Africa Cup of Nations opener against Guinea. Onana faced travel disruptions due to bad weather, arriving in Ivory Coast just hours before the match. Despite his efforts, including a last-minute flight from Manchester after a game against Tottenham and a two-hour drive from Abidjan to Yamoussoukro, coach Rigobert Song had already decided on the matchday squad. This incident adds to previous controversies involving Onana, who had delayed joining the Cameroon team to play for Manchester United and had a prior fallout with Song during the 2022 World Cup, which led to a temporary retirement from international football.
