Eto'o to launch Aids campaign at Africa Cup
Jan 23, 2012, 16:45 GMT
Libreville, Gabon - The world's best-paid footballer, Samuel Eto'o, on Monday launched an Aids campaign ahead of the country's opening Africa Cup match.
The '3-0: Afcon Without Aids' campaign was initiated by the foundation of the wife of the Gabonese president, Sylvia Bongo Ondimba.
Cameroon, whom Eto'o captains, failed to qualify for the 28th edition of the African football showpiece, which is being co-hosted by Gabon and Equatorial Guinea.
The striker, who reportedly earns 20 million euros (26 million dollars) per year at Russian club Anzhi Makhachkala, was in the Stade de l'Amitie on Monday, as Gabon kicked-off their campaign against Niger.
