When Francis Ngannou praised Samuel Eto'o for his efforts in shaping young football talent in Cameroon
After retiring from professional football, Samuel Eto'o has shown strong interest in promoting the growth of football in Africa. He has been serving as the president of the Cameroonian Football Association for the last few years.
In June 2022, Eto'o shared a picture of him with two young girls who were football fans. The caption indicated that he hopes to inspire girls like them to pursue careers as professional football players:
“Shaping the next generation of Lionesses starts with encouraging our girls to follow their dreams. Always a pleasure to meet with some of our younger football fans.”
Francis Ngannou responded to his compatriot's post, thanking him for his efforts to promote football in Cameroon:
"The future of football is in Cameroon. Thanks to you @SamuelEtoo."
