A touching video has gone viral on social media, capturing the moment former football star Samuel Eto’o reconnected with a longtime friend, now working as a security guard.

In the clip, Eto’o, who was attending an event in Douala, Cameroon, paused to acknowledge his former teammate standing in the crowd.

Dressed in a security uniform, the man immediately caught Eto’o’s attention, prompting the football legend to warmly greet him.

The two shared heartfelt pleasantries as the former Barcelona striker fondly recalled their days playing together.

Despite the slightly unexpected nature of the encounter, Eto’o’s warmth and kind words made the moment genuinely touching.

Demonstrating his generosity, Eto’o promised to meet up with his old friend later, even introducing him to his assistant to ensure they reconnect.

Speaking during the brief exchange, Eto’o said, “We need to meet up. We can’t speak right now because I have meetings in 10 minutes, but tell Christian [Eto’o’s assistant and mutual friend] to do everything. We meet up; we’re going to speak, my friend. I’m happy to see you.”
