AFCON 2027 qualifiers: Togo announce their final squad to face Algeria

Togo’s head coach, Patrice Neveu, unveiled the final squad for the Sparrowhawks on Tuesday 3 November ahead of the third and fourth matchdays of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. Following an initial provisional squad of 31 players, the French manager has selected 26 to face Algeria on 14 and 17 November.

This squad features a new face among the Sparrowhawks. Lilian Brassier, a centre-back for Eintracht Frankfurt, has been called up for the very first time. Although he has played for French youth teams, he has chosen to represent Togo on the international stage. He will make his debut for the Togolese national team during the upcoming international break.

Togo will travel to Tizi Ozou on 14 November to face Algeria before returning to Lomé to play the fourth matchday of qualifiers on 17 November.
