Eto'o was a celebrated player at Barcelona, Inter and Chelsea during his playing career.
He now leads the Cameroon Football Federation as president - and he fully supports Infantino. He praised the increasingly embattled FIFA president, who several national associations - including Sweden - do not want to see re-elected.
"He changed football. He has given nations that previously didn't have the opportunity to participate in the most amazing tournament, the World Cup. He has helped our continent. He has helped our federations develop. We must appreciate what he has done and we should support him for everything he has achieved so far," Eto'o told CNN.
