Togo did not compete in their first FIFA-sanctioned match until 2006, when they played five games. In its next two games, Togo lost 0–9 and 1–3 to Congo. The team has since played just one match. In 2007, the team competed at the
Tournoi de Cinq Nations held in
Ouagadougou,
Burkina Faso. There, Togo was paired with
Mali and
Ivory Coast on Pool B. The team lost 0–5 to
Ivory Coast before being disqualified for bringing a club team,
MBA Lomé, to the competition in violation of tournament rules. The team was expected to participate in the
2010 African Women's Championship and was scheduled to play against
Mali but withdrew before the competition started. The same occurred in the
2016 Africa Women Cup of Nations qualification process, where Togo was drawn with
Algeria, but withdrew before playing any game. The team was replaced by
Ethiopia, and were excluded from participating in the
2018 edition in
Ghana. Now coached by
Kaï Tomety, the
Éperviers Dames finally returned to the international competition in the
maiden edition of the
WAFU Women's Cup, after 11 years of absence. The performance of the new team, however, wasn't good as expected, since they were eliminated in the group stage after suffering heavy defeats to
Senegal,
Mali and
Nigeria.
Afi Woedikou scored Togo's only goal in the tournament against the latter, as result of a penalty kick. ==Background and development==
