It seems like President Faure Gnassingbé of the Togolese Republic is increasingly showing interest and support for football in his country. Despite criticism about his involvement in the Togolese Football Federation (FTF) crises, he has recently demonstrated a more active engagement, notably by encouraging the returns of players Emmanuel Adebayor and Kossi Agassa to the national selection.
The president expressed his emotions on Twitter (@FGNASSINGBE) before, during, and after a match. Before the game, he expressed strong belief in the team, encouraging them to have fun on the pitch and bring honor to the country. Despite the halftime score of 1-1, he maintained hope, stating that everything was still possible and urging continued support for the team. Even after the final result of a 1-2 loss, President Faure Gnassingbé admired the efforts of the Togolese players, praising them for giving their all and expressing confidence in the national pride, stating that they believe in it more than ever.
This engagement from the president reflects a positive shift in his involvement and support for Togolese football, acknowledging the efforts and performance of the national team despite the outcome of the match.
