As Ameyi returned to the stands after halftime to motivate the Sparrowhawks, he was subjected to jeers, insults, and projectiles from the disgruntled supporters. Despite the hostile reception, Ameyi persisted in trying to encourage the team, but he faced the same treatment upon his second return to the stands.
The discontent towards Ameyi stems from perceived mismanagement of the federation, leading to resignations from the Executive Board and boycotts of meetings by several members in recent weeks.
The tension escalated after the match, with the junior Sparrowhawks requiring a police escort to safely reach the locker room amidst a barrage of projectiles following their 2-0 defeat to Morocco’s Cubs.
The incident highlights the growing unrest and dissatisfaction among Togo’s football community towards the federation’s leadership and management.
