Facts
- Togo's first crack at qualifying came in the preliminary
qualifiers to the 1974 tournament, but they have yet to threaten the
big guns for a place at the FIFA World Cup™ finals. Congo DR ended
their first shot at qualifying with Guinea and Niger following suit
in later years.
- Togo lost all their preliminary matches in the contest for
places at the 1994 FIFA World Cup USA, although they did manage a
win over Zimbabwe four years later and beat Zambia and Libya in the
2002 qualifying tournament albeit in a group that was won by
Cameroon.
- The greatest result in Togo's history came in the 1998 African
Cup of Nations, a 2-1 triumph over four-times champions Ghana which
saw the fancied nation eliminated from the tournament. Following a
1-0 defeat to Equatorial Guinea in the first leg of their
preliminary qualifier for the 2006 FIFA World Cup, Togo came back to
win the return 2-0 and progress to the next round.
