Togolese Internationals Shine Across the Globe
Several Togolese footballers made headlines this past weekend with standout performances in leagues spanning from France to South Africa, underlining the nation’s growing influence on the global football stage.
Floyd Ayité: Bastia’s Saviour in Ligue 1
In France, Floyd Ayité delivered what may prove to be Bastia’s most important goal of the season. The Togolese winger scored the only goal in a crucial 1-0 win over Saint-Étienne, a result that gives the Corsican side a real shot at avoiding relegation. His consistent performances throughout the season have been pivotal, and this latest contribution could be the one that ensures Ligue 1 survival.
Jonathan Ayité Eyes Scoring Title in Turkey
Floyd’s brother, Jonathan Ayité, is also making waves — this time in Turkey’s second division. Playing for Alanyaspor, the striker scored his 15th goal of the season in a resounding 5-1 victory over Karşıyaka SK. Now just one goal behind the league’s top scorer, Ayité has three games left to claim the golden boot.
Sadate Ouro-Akoriko and Camaldine Abraw: Contrasting Fortunes in South Africa
In South Africa, Sadate Ouro-Akoriko continues to shine despite Amazulu’s relegation woes. The defender netted his second goal of the season during a 3-1 loss to SuperSport United. Amazulu, currently bottom of the league and five points from safety with just two matches to go, appear destined for the drop.
Meanwhile, Camaldine Abraw is flourishing at Free State Stars. Now sitting safely in 9th place, the forward scored his fifth goal in six matches during their 2-0 win over Chippa United. After a quiet first half of the season, Abraw’s resurgence is earning him plaudits.
Laba Fo-Doh Scores on Debut in Gabon
In Gabon, Laba Fo-Doh made an immediate impact at his new club, US Bitam. The former Anges FC forward scored on his debut, leading his team to a 2-1 victory over Missile FC. Togolese fans will be watching closely as he looks to replicate his domestic success on a bigger stage.
UAE Title for Komlan Amewou
Veteran midfielder Komlan Amewou added silverware to his career, lifting the UAE Division 2 title with Al Shaab. While the first half of the season saw him as a standout performer, his influence waned slightly in the latter stages. With his contract expiring, the former Nîmes player now considers his next move.
Matthieu Dossevi Clinches Greek Super League Title
Rounding out the weekend’s success, Matthieu Dossevi celebrated Olympiakos’ Greek Super League title with a dominant 5-0 win over Kalloni. With the title already secured and three games left, the winger and his club can now focus on finishing the campaign in style.
From survival battles to title triumphs, Togolese footballers continue to assert their presence across continents — a testament to the country’s rich and growing footballing talent.
