The made a dream debut when they had scoring draw before they were beaten by a formidable West Germany, lead by legendary defender Franz Beckenbauer, who made it to the last four. They had another go in the World cup in 1986 and found themselves again on the Mexican soil. They made it to the next round, a feat no other African team had achieved, before they suffered heartbreak at the hands of West Germany. They then had had a mixed results in the other World cups Since being a force to be reckoned with in the 1990s, they have failed to make another World cup appearance since France 1998.

Last time, the Sparrow hawks made the head lines when they shocked Senegal to qualify for the World cup in Germany.

Togo, though now are much more formidable side with the likes of one of the hottest property in Arsenal's hit man Adebayor, who rose to fame when he scored the 11 goals in the African World cup qualifiers. Togo has put trust in Belgian Jean Thissen to take the Sparrow hawks to the South Africa 2010 finals. They have been paired with Morocco and 2000 Olympic gold medalists Cameroon.
