Samuel Eto'o at the Ibaka Games in Kinshasa, DRC

Over the weekend Samuel Eto'o swapped his football boots for a pair of basketball sneakers in Kinshasa, DRC.

The Cameroonian striker took part in the Ibaka Games charity basketball, match which was organised by Congolese NBA player Serge Ibaka under his founder Serge Ibaka Founder in partnership with Congo airlines company, ECAIR.

We are not certain at the moment how many baskets Samuel Eto’o made during the game but the spirit behind his participation is all that really count.

The Ibaka Games was geared towards inspiring African kids to believe in themselves, believe in their chances no matter how hard their circumstances are.

A host of celebrities like Werrason, Sai Sai, Christian Eyenga, Bismack Biyombo amongst many others also took part in the Ibaka Games.
