It has been almost a year since Togo qualified for the first time in the final phase of the CHAN (African Nations Championship). Except that since then, the team has never come back in possession of the promised qualification bonuses.

Dominators 4-1 to go to Lomé, the Sparrowhawks manage to hold on to Nigeria’s Agege (0-2) to get the ticket.

The qualification, celebrated as a continental coronation, was the place of great promises. Except that 9 months later, no reaction from government authorities. The many promises that have been kept for months have never been fulfilled. Hence the weariness of the players in this Coronavirus period. “We lose hope in this country if our efforts cannot be encouraged in time. Our big brothers fought this fight for years. That we are still there is sad. We just want our bonuses, “said an” age hero “bitterly, anonymously.

In Togo, bonus issues have often been the bone of contention between players and federal or government officials. For a few years, these concerns have tended to find solutions with regard to selection A directed by Claude Le Roy.

Obviously, the local one is not in the same boat. In addition, the 2020 edition of CHAN which was to take place from April 4 to 25 in Cameroon has been postponed for Covid 19.
