Togo's Best World Cup Performance
Qualifying for Germany 2006.
Togo were the first team to arrive in Germany; landing in Stuttgart on
Monday 15th May.
While the Nigerian trainer, Stephen Keshi, took Togo to the finals he
was sacked in February after Togo's elimination from the African Nation's Cup. German-born
Otto Pfister, who has had experience of training African teams, was shortly the man in
charge but walked out on the team before they started their World Cup schedule; to be
replaced by his former assistant, Kodjovi Mawuena.
Then on the day of the first match against South Korea, Otto Pfister
returned to the team.

Hotel Waltersbühl:
Max Fischer Strasse 4, Wangen im Allgäu.
