A former striker for Cameroon and Barcelona Samuel Eto’o has expressed regret for his involvement in what he called a “violent brawl” that occurred after a World Cup game in Qatar.
The 41-year-old, who is currently the president of his nation’s football association (Fecafoot), was allegedly seen in an online video yelling at a man.
The incident occurred outside Stadium 974 in Doha after Monday’s last-16 match between Brazil and South Korea, which the South Americans won 4-1.
Eto’o posed for several pictures with supporters before getting into an angry confrontation with another man with a video camera.
Footage showed Eto’o advancing towards the man before he was restrained by bystanders, but he then broke free and appeared to lash out towards the man with his knee.
