The three-time Champions League winner's last club was Qatar SC, where he had been playing from 2018 and he retires as Cameroon's leading goal scorer with 56.
Eto'o moved to Europe in 1997, when he was signed by Real Madrid. However, he was sent on loan three times and made just three senior appearances before joining Real Mallorca on a permanent deal in 2000.
Four years later, he moved to Barcelona, where he was part of one of the best attacks in the world alongside Ronaldinho, as the Catalans won back-to-back La Liga titles as well as the Champions League in 2006, where Eto'o scored the equaliser in a 2-1 final win over Arsenal in Paris.
Eto'o remained an important part of the Barca side in Pep Guardiola's first season in management in 2008-09 and again scored in the Champions League final, this time in a 2-0 victory over Manchester United, to complete a Treble, having already won La Liga and the Copa del Rey.
That summer, he left to join Inter as part of a deal which saw Zlatan Ibrahimovic move to Camp Nou and Eto'o was part of another Treble-winning side -- the only player in history to achieve this feat in consecutive years -- and the third player to win back-to-back Champions League titles with two different clubs
