New Era for the Togolese National Team
In a significant development for Togolese football, Patrice Neveu, the newly appointed head coach of the national team, known as the Éperviers, has announced a squad of 26 players for the upcoming FIFA international matchdays. This announcement was made during a press conference held in Lomé, where Neveu detailed the team's preparation for two friendly matches scheduled to take place in Morocco. The Éperviers are set to face Guinea on March 27 in Rabat, followed by a match against Niger on March 31 in Casablanca.
Key Players and New Faces
Among the players called up for these crucial encounters are several key figures who have been stalwarts for the national team. Notable inclusions are captain Djene Dakonam, forward Fodoh Laba, and midfielder Karim Dermane, all of whom have played pivotal roles in past competitions. However, Neveu is also looking to the future with the inclusion of fresh talent, inviting several newcomers to join the squad. Players like Idjessi Metsoko, Izak Akakpo, Faad Sana, Yannis Lawson, Sharani Zuberu, Pierre Nadjombe, Marvin Senaya, Halid Djankpata, and Charles Abi are among those who will have the opportunity to showcase their skills on the international stage.
Neveu emphasized the importance of these matches in assessing the players' capabilities, stating, "These games will allow us to evaluate the players in terms of gameplay systems, organization, and integration into the team dynamics." This marks a critical moment for Neveu, as these friendly matches will serve as his first real test in charge of the Éperviers, setting the tone for his tenure as head coach.
