The CAF has chosen to ban Togo from African competitions for six years due to what they call "government interference." The team pulled out of the African Nations' Cup after their team bus was ambushed by machine guns earlier in the month while in Angola. Apparently the African Football Confederation believes the Togolese players should have stayed in the country and risk their lives by showing up to their tournament opener against Ghana. Not only have they banned them for the next two tournaments, but the CAF also are fining the Togo Football Federation $50,000 USD. Now that's adding insult to injury death.
The Togolese are appealing the ban and fine in good reason. Does anyone else think this is messed up?
yeah thats not right. i can only imagine what those players went thru
