Former Cameroonian captain, Samuel Eto’o Fils has announced his desire to become the county’s Football Federation President.
The role became vacant after CAS cancelled the tenure of the incumbent, Seidou Mbombo Njoya.
“I am honoured and pleased to announce my candidacy for the Presidency of the Cameroon Football Federation. After careful considerations, I have decided to take this initiative out of love for Cameroon and passion for our football,” Eto’o said on social media.
“It would be an honour to be at the service of the establishment that has bestowed upon me all the accolades I’ve received so far.
“Waiting is not an option. It is time to rebuild our football. We can no longer delay the revamping of our number one sport because the rest of the world is moving on; it is progressing without us.”
Eto’o announced his retirement from Football following a glittering career two years ago.
