Still waiting for a first World Cup or continental title

Togo's story so far

Togo are one of 160 national teams who have never won a FIFA World Cup or their confederation's continental championship — the same two-tier standard tracked for every team on this site. Togo made their World Cup debut in 2006 after Emmanuel Adebayor scored 11 goals to lead the African qualifying scoring chart. They later reached the AFCON quarter-finals for the first time in the 2013 edition. Leading the qualifying scoring chart and reaching the last eight are separate achievements from winning a World Cup or AFCON title.

What would it take?

To join the 51 nations already tracked here, Togo would need to win either the FIFA World Cup or the Africa Cup of Nations — the top continental honor in the Africa (CAF) region. Future opportunities depend on the eligibility and qualification rules for each edition. The current wait does not imply that a completed tournament can still be won.
