It’s disappointing news that Togo has been eliminated from the 2014 Football World Cup qualifiers after a 2-0 defeat against Libya on the 5th day of the competition. The captain of the Eperviers, Serge Akakpo, expressed his sadness about the elimination and offered sincere apologies to the supporters and all Togolese.
In a post on his Facebook wall, Akakpo acknowledged the difficulty of the task and the challenges faced by the team. He expressed gratitude for the support and assured that they fought with the means at their disposal, even though it proved insufficient. Despite the current setback, Akakpo expressed hope for a better future and recovery.
The Eperviers will have their final match in the qualifiers on the 6th day against DR Congo in Lomé in September. While their hopes for the 2014 World Cup have ended, the focus will likely shift to future competitions, and the team will aim to build on the experience gained during this campaign.
