Togo Soccer Team Withdraws From African Cup Of Nations

After a deadly attack by rebels as they were crossing the Northern border by bus, the government of Togo summoned the team to come back home. The players, however were interested in staying in honor of their fallen teammates and assistant coach.

It seems that officials of Angola and of the Confederation of African Football (organizers of the tournament) failed to guarantee the team safety after the attack, one of the condition for Togo's participation in the tournament was a change of venue, which didn't happen.

It's really unfortunate what happened to this team full of young talents, they were innocent victims of local conflicts and now they have to say goodbye to their chances in winning the tournament instead they're heading home to mourn.

Get it right next time!

P.S: Gabon is also participating in the tournament, our first game is 01/13 against Cameroon our biggest rival (they stole our chances to participate in the World Cup Tournament this Summer in South Africa). We got this one!
