Infantino's African Allies: A Tale of Priorities and Patronage Samuel Eto'o, president of the Cameroon Football Federation, has endorsed FIFA President Gianni Infantino, sparking debate about power, patronage, and priorities in global football.
Eto'o's comments to French sports newspaper L'Equipe are not surprising given the complex relationships between African federations and their European counterparts.
Eto'o's support for Infantino may be motivated by more than a desire to see African countries succeed in international competitions.
