TheTogo national football team (French:Équipe nationale de football du Togo) representsTogo in internationalfootball and is controlled by theTogolese Football Federation. The national football team of Togo made their debut in theFIFA World Cup in 2006. Their team bus underwenta fatal attack inAngola prior to the2010 Africa Cup of Nations. They withdrew and were subsequently banned from the following two tournaments by theConfederation of African Football (CAF). In 2013 for the first time in history, Togo reached the quarter-finals of theAfrica Cup of Nations. The team represents bothFIFA and the Confederation of African Football (CAF).

History

[edit]

They made their firstFIFA World Cup appearance in their history in2006, having been coached throughout the qualifying campaign byStephen Keshi; German coachOtto Pfister managed the team at the finals, despite having resigned three days before their first match over a players' bonuses dispute, only to be persuaded by the players to return. Prior to gaining independence in 1960, the team was known asFrench Togoland.

2006 World Cup

[edit]

Togo lost their opening game of the World Cup, despite having taken the lead againstSouth Korea through a goal byMohamed Kader. In the second half,Jean-Paul Abalo was sent off after 55 minutes, and goals fromLee Chun-Soo andAhn Jung-Hwan sealed a 2–1 defeat for Togo.

Togo's next opponents in Group G wereSwitzerland, with the match scheduled for the afternoon of 19 June. However, the Togo squad and manager Pfister threatened to refuse to fulfill the fixture and takestrike action. The squad and manager had been quoted as requesting payments from theTogolese Football Federation for participating in the tournament of around155,000 (US$192,000) with added bonuses for victories or draws.FIFA negotiated with the squad and manager on 17 June, persuading them to travel toDortmund in time to fulfill the fixture;[3] goals fromAlexander Frei andTranquillo Barnetta resulted in a 2–0 defeat. FIFA subsequently imposed aCHF100,000 fine on the Togolese federation for "behaviour unworthy of a participant in the World Cup."

Togo's final group game againstFrance ended in a 2–0 defeat.

Sierra Leone air disaster

[edit]
Main article:2007 Paramount Airlines helicopter crash

After a2008 African Nations Cup qualifier away toSierra Leone on 3 June 2007, 20 members of a delegation of sports officials fromTogo, including Togolese Sports MinisterRichard Attipoe, were killed when theirhelicopter exploded and crashed atLungi International Airport. No players of the Togo national team were among the victims. The Togo players and officials of the team had been waiting to take the next helicopter flight to the island on which the airport is located.

2010 bus ambush and ban

[edit]
Main article:Togo national football team attack

On 8 January 2010, the Togo team bus was attacked by gunmen as it travelled to the2010 Africa Cup of Nations tournament, killing three and injuring several others. The separatist groupFront for the Liberation of the Enclave of Cabinda (FLEC) claimed responsibility for the attack. GoalkeeperKodjovi Obilalé was reported dead a day after the attack, though he actually survived.[4] Such reports were later dismissed by his clubGSI Pontivy in a press announcement, stating the player was actually undergoing surgery in South Africa.[5]

Following the bus ambush attack, theTogolese Football Federation stated that they would withdraw from the2010 Africa Cup of Nations; despite claims that the team had since reversed the decision and would compete "to show our national colours, our values and that we are men" (as announced byThomas Dossevi),[6] the government later ordered that the team return home.[7]

Following the team's withdrawal, TheConfederation of African Football (CAF) banned Togo from participating in the next two editions of the Cup of Nations and fined them US$50,000 because of the "decision taken by the political authorities".[8][9][10] The CAF executive Committee considered that the Togolese team was in "forfeit notified less than twenty days before the start or during the final competition" (Art. 78 of the Regulations for the Africa Cup of Nations),[8][11] rather than having withdrawn (Art. 80), and refused to consider the circumstances asforce majeure (Art. 87). Togo's government immediately said they would sue as CAF "have no consideration for the lives of other human beings" and this is further "insulting to the family of those who lost their lives and those traumatized because of the attack".[9]FIFA has yet to comment on the issue.[9] Togo footballerThomas Dossevi said, "We are a group of footballers who came under fire and now we can't play football anymore. They are crushing us".[9] Togolese captainEmmanuel Adebayor described the decision as "outrageous" and said that CAF PresidentIssa Hayatou had "completely betrayed" the Togo squad.[12] FIFA subsequently helped lifted their ban entirely.[13]

As a result of the events, Emmanuel Adebayor announced his retirement from international football on 12 April 2010.[14] But on 22 March 2011, Adebayor announced that he was again available for the national team.[15]

Fake Togo Team

[edit]

On 7 September 2010, Togo allegedly played Bahrain in a friendly losing the match 3–0. However, on 14 September, the Togo FA claimed that a fake team had played against Bahrain. Togo's Sports Minister Christophe Tchao said to theJeune Afrique magazine that nobody in Togo had "ever been informed of such a game".[16] On 20 September 2010, it was revealed that former Togo managerBana Tchanilé was the culprit and the Togo FA have given him a three-year ban in addition to the two-year ban he got in July 2010 for taking Togo players to play a tournament in Egypt.[17] The match fixing has been linked toWilson Raj Perumal and theSingaporeanmatch-fixingsyndicate allegedly run byTan Seet Eng.[18]

2014 World Cup Qualification

[edit]

Togo began qualification for the 2014 World Cup on 11 November 2011, against Guinea-Bissau. They drew in the first leg 1–1. On 15 November 2011, they won the return leg 1–0. On 3 June 2012, they played Libya in Lome and drew 1–1. Shortly after on 10 June they played Congo DR at Kinshasa and lost 2–0. They resumed on 3 March 2013, and played Cameroon in Yaounde and lost 2–1. They met again on 9 June in Lome and Togo won 2–0. In the end, Togo failed to qualify for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
