Quartet quit over Togo bonus row
LOME, July 17: Four members of Togo's crisis-hit football federation (FTF) quit on Monday as the long-running saga over World Cup bonuses rumbled on.
FTF secretary-general Espoir Komlan Assogbavi and vice-president Winny Dogbatse resigned “for the honour” of Togo football, Assogbavi said.
“My three colleagues and I have decided to resign for the salvation and honour of our football,” he said.
Togo spent their first ever World Cup campaign in Germany squabbling over money and even threatened to boycott a match unless the dispute was settled.
Coach Otto Pfister also quit at the start of the tournament before being reinstated.
