Barcelona ace Samuel Eto'o was happy with the result of his trip to Mozambique this week.

Eto'o, on behalf of UNICEF, visited the country on Monday and was able to meet with over 400 young players as part of his work.

"When I was a boy I met big stars like Roger Milla, Francois Oman-Biyik and George Weah, who inspired me in my career," said Eto'o. "I am here because I recognize the role I should play in being an idol in the future of a child.

"Sport is essential for building a better person and a better tomorrow and shapes communication and solidarity from an early age."
