Roger Milla removed as Cameroon soccer federation honorary president
Milla’s criticism of the federation came to the fore after Eto’o was banned for 15 matches for his role in a players’ strike over the unpaid fees which forced the cancellation of an international in Algeria in November.
Milla and the players’ union said the suspension was excessive, and the federation later reduced Eto’o’s ban to eight months, effectively four games.
Coach Denis Lavagne, meanwhile, recalled Ajax midfielder Eyong Enoh to Cameroon’s squad for World Cup and African Cup qualifiers next month. Enoh also was suspended by Fecafoot last year for his part in the players’ strike.
Eto’o is still banned and will miss World Cup qualifiers against Congo on June 2 and Libya on June 10 as well as Cameroon’s second-leg home game against Guinea-Bissau in 2013 African Cup qualifying. Cameroon leads that tie 1-0.
