AFCON 2019 Qualifiers: Emmanuel Adebayor contemplates retirement after Togo exit

Former Arsenal, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspurs star, Emmanuel Adebayor, has hinted he might have played his last game for Togo, following the team’s elimination from the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.

Togo suffered a 2-1 defeat to neighbours Benin, in the last round of qualifiers when a win would have guaranteed them a place in Egypt later in the year.

Adebayor, 35, equalized for Togo after David Djigla had put the home side ahead. But Steve Mounie’s last minute strike ensured Benin, and not Togo, will be playing at the continental showpiece in June.

Adebayor, who made his debut for Togo in 2000, and after 19 years in the national team, and four AFCONS (2002, 2006, 2013, 2017), has been reflecting on his long journey with the Hawks.

“It’s a lot. It’s beautiful. There were ups. There were downs. There were regrets. There were unforgettable moments,” the Istanbul Basaksehir forward told Radio France International after the game in Cotonou.

“Now, I think I’ll go home. I will take all the good times. I will put them in a bag. I will go to Istanbul quietly. And I’ll see what the future holds. I did everything to keep the jersey this afternoon.

“And, if it’s the end of a cycle, so be it. The most important thing is that I keep the shorts, the jersey and the socks.

“I promised my daughter, now 8 years old, that my last club jersey and the one in selection would be for her. I think she already had to send me a message: “Dad, and the shirt? ”

“For the moment, we are not going to talk about my end of career. We will not talk about the elimination of Togo.”

Adebayor has made 87 appearances for the Togo national team and has scored  32 goals.

He captained the country to qualification for their first and only world cup appearance in 2006 in Germany.
