Women's football now where 16 clubs will compete in Togo's first ever women's championship. The competition will be held for a month in stadiums across the West African country. As encouragement to participate in the tournament, each club received a grant of 800 dollars from the national federation. The hope is to recruit the best players for Togo's national team. The federation has undergone administrative wrangles and the new office elected last month is hoping to finally fulfill a long-standing promise to women's football. In the past, administrators have not prioritised the womens game and the new move is already being celebrated.
