Togo / Women’s First Division: Lack of infrastructure at the heart of championship delay

Togo’s women’s first-division championship has yet to resume, following the end of the 2024-2025 season on February 26, 2026. Speaking on Sport FM, Yvette Delali Klussey, head of women’s football at the Togolese Football Federation, said pitches are occupied by the men’s first- and second-division competitions, while the same referees are needed for those matches. She also cited scheduling problems because many players are students, complaints from parents, and clubs’ shortage of players. The federation is considering solutions, including holding the competition during school holidays.
