Host countries
Explore the three host nations while we wait for Togo’s official finals journey to be determined.
Safari country and East Africa’s busiest gateway
Kenya combines the region’s most connected international airport with the Maasai Mara and the Kenyan coast, making it the natural base for supporters who want football and safari in one trip.
Plan my tripZanzibar, Serengeti and the Indian Ocean
Tanzania offers the strongest holiday extension of the three hosts — Zanzibar’s beaches and the northern safari circuit are both within easy reach of the mainland gateways.
Plan my trip
The source of the Nile and gorilla country
Uganda is the most compact of the three hosts, with Entebbe close to Kampala and adventure travel — rafting at Jinja, gorilla trekking in the southwest — within reach of a tournament trip.

Togo’s AFCON legacy
Togo’s first AFCON was Cameroon 1972, and it began with a 3–3 draw against Mali, who went on to reach the final. The Hawks have now played eight finals tournaments, from 1972 to 2017, but their first win at the finals did not come until 1998: 2–1 against Ghana in Ouagadougou, settled by Mohamed Coubadja Touré in the 90th minute. Two years later in Kumasi they beat Cameroon 1–0 — the only match the eventual champions lost at AFCON 2000.
The generation that followed was built around Emmanuel Adebayor, African Player of the Year in 2008 and the striker who took Togo to their only World Cup, in 2006. It also lived through the attack that overshadowed Angola 2010. On 8 January 2010, two days before the finals in Angola began, gunmen attacked the team bus in Cabinda. Three people were killed, among them assistant coach Abalo Amelete and press officer Stan Ocloo, and the government called the squad home before a match was played.
The generation that followed was built around Emmanuel Adebayor, African Player of the Year in 2008 and the striker who took Togo to their only World Cup, in 2006. It also lived through the attack that overshadowed Angola 2010. On 8 January 2010, two days before the finals in Angola began, gunmen attacked the team bus in Cabinda. Three people were killed, among them assistant coach Abalo Amelete and press officer Stan Ocloo, and the government called the squad home before a match was played.
Three years later came the breakthrough. At South Africa 2013, Didier Six’s side lost narrowly to Côte d’Ivoire, beat Algeria 2–0 with Adebayor on the scoresheet and held Tunisia 1–1 to reach the quarter-finals for the first time; Burkina Faso needed Jonathan Pitroipa’s extra-time header to get past them. Serge Akakpo, shot twice in Cabinda, started in defence. In 2017, under Claude Le Roy at his record ninth tournament as a coach, Togo held the holders Côte d’Ivoire 0–0 but went out in the group — and have not been back since.
Patrice Neveu, appointed in March 2026, now leads a side he describes as being in a phase of reconstruction. Group I pairs Togo with Algeria, Zambia and Burundi, with the top two qualifying. The campaign opens at home to Burundi at the Kégué Stadium in Lomé on 25 September 2026, before a trip to Ndola to face Zambia four days later.
Iconic moments
2000
Group stage · Ghana & Nigeria 2000, Kumasi
Massamesso Tchangai’s goal after 19 minutes gave Togo a 1–0 win over Cameroon, who lost no other match on their way to the title. Togo still finished third in the group and went out.
2010
Before the tournament · Cabinda, Angola
Two days before Angola 2010 began, gunmen opened fire on Togo’s team bus in the Cabinda enclave. Three people were killed, including assistant coach Abalo Amelete and press officer Stan Ocloo, and several players were wounded. The squad voted to play on in their memory, but the government recalled the team before their opening match.
2013
Quarter-final · South Africa 2013, Mbombela
A 2–0 win over Algeria and a 1–1 draw with Tunisia, in which Tunisia hit the post with a second penalty, took Togo past the group stage for the first time. In the quarter-final Burkina Faso, who went on to reach the final, won 1–0 through Jonathan Pitroipa’s header at the end of the first period of extra time.
