Togo experienced a drop in the FIFA rankings, losing five places in the latest update published. Despite a solid performance in the recent African Cup of Nations with a qualification for the quarter-finals, the Togo Sparrowhawks faced a setback during the World Cup qualifiers for Brazil 2014. They suffered a defeat to the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon on the 3rd day of the qualifiers in March, losing 2-1.
Adebayor Sheyi and Agassa Kossi were absent in that match, and Alaixys Romao and his teammates couldn’t secure a victory against Samuel Eto’o and the Cameroonian team. The defeat influenced Togo’s position in the FIFA rankings, and they now find themselves in 72nd place with 470 points. The rankings reflect the team’s recent performances and the outcome of competitive matches at the international level.
