Togo-Bahrain Practical Joke

Or a strange case of fraud.

On 7 September, there was a friendly match in Bahrain with what seemed to be the Togo national team.

Togo lost 3-0, but it is now clear the team was a fake.

I prefer to see the humor in it, but can understand how others might not.

That’s the most bizarre thing I’ve read in a very long time…

Who did it? Why? How much did it cost to pull off?
