Remember: The Togo national team, known as the Hawks, initiated a strike before their match against the Gabon Panthers, the return leg of the last round of the CAN 2013 qualifiers. Adebayor and his teammates refused to train on Friday morning, demanding clarity on their qualification bonus before committing to the crucial match.
Negotiations ensued, with the government, represented by the Prime Minister, engaging in talks with the team captain and coach Didier Six last Friday. Despite no official press release following the meeting, an agreement was reached, and both the government and the players set aside their differences to focus on the upcoming match.
