Cameroon’s goalkeeper, Andre Onana, and the nation’s football legend, Samuel Eto’o, have reportedly not communicated since the 2022 FIFA World Cup, maintaining an unresolved feud. The discord stems from disciplinary issues that led to Onana being sent home from the 2022 World Cup, followed by accusations of disrespect for arriving late to AFCON. Onana retired from international duty but was later recalled.

Despite his potential return to Manchester United if Cameroon exits AFCON, the broken relationship between Onana and Eto’o continues to cast a shadow over Cameroon’s current tournament and future competitions. The ongoing rift between Onana and Eto’o poses a significant challenge for Cameroon, impacting team dynamics and potentially affecting their chances not only in the current AFCON but also in upcoming tournaments.

With Cameroon on the verge of elimination from AFCON, sitting third in their group, the strained relationship between their star goalkeeper and the federation president adds further complications to the team’s pursuit of success.
