The Togo national football team, known as "Les Éperviers" (The Sparrowhawks), represents the Togolese Republic in international football. Governed by the Togolese Football Federation, the team plays its home matches at the Stade de Kégué in Lomé. Togo's greatest footballing achievement came in 2006 when they qualified for the FIFA World Cup in Germany, led by the prolific striker Emmanuel Adebayor. That campaign, though ultimately winless at the finals, cemented the team's place in the nation's sporting history. Togo has also been a periodic participant in the Africa Cup of Nations. The modern team is in a phase of rebuilding, looking to develop a new core of players to challenge in a competitive West African region. They play in a distinctive kit of green, yellow, and red stripes, reflecting the national flag. The Sparrowhawks carry the hopes of a football-loving nation, aiming to soar once again on the continental and world stage.
