Lilian Brassier joins Togo squad for CAN 2027 qualifiers

Lilian Brassier has joined the Eperviers du Togo for the CAN 2027 qualifiers and is set to make his first appearance for the national team.

The defender’s arrival follows more than two years of discussions over his international future. He had been approached since the time of Claude Leroy, but several planned meetings failed to take place during Paulo Duarte’s tenure.

Brassier has now accepted the call-up from Togo manager Patrice Neveu and will be involved with the squad for the upcoming qualifiers.

His inclusion is expected to strengthen a defensive department that has struggled in recent matches. The 26-year-old has previously played for Brest, Olympique de Marseille and Rennes.

Brassier joined Eintracht Francfort in the summer of 2026 and will now begin his international career with Togo.
