A Spanish court had order former Cameroon football star Samuel Eto’o to pay Child support allowance of up 67,200 for a daughter he fathered with a Spanish woman back in 1997.
Eto’o who is currently President of the Cameroon FA has denied paternity of the Child and according to Spanish reports was never involved in the Court proceedings.
The child Erika Do Rosario Nieves, is now a 22 year-old woman and the Court ruled in favor of her Mother awarding her €1,400 per month and dated back to the moment that the lawsuit was filed.
The mother began the lawsuit in 2018 by providing biological evidence that supported her testimony that Erika was the daughter of the former striker.
Court number 83 in Madrid reached the verdict on Thursday to conclude a legal process that was commenced by the woman’s mother in 2018.
The young woman’s mother Adileusa is said to have met Eto’o at a nightclub in Madrid in 1997 – when the Cameroonian was playing for Leganes, who were based near the Spanish capital.
Eto’o spent the 1997/98 season on loan at Leganes from Real Madrid – netting four goals in 30 appearances – before briefly breaking into the first-team squad of Los Blancos.
