Togo - List of Champions

Football was played by Europeans in the (then) capital towns of Baguida, Z�b�vi and Lom� between 1884 and 1897 when the country was a German colony, but no football structures existed until after the first clubs were founded in the coastal areas by English merchants during the French era, after World War I; the sports became truly popular during the thirties.

Notes:

In 1974 a sports reform ('Reform Sportive') was carried out, in which many clubs
were merged or amalgamated into large unites, in particular in Lom� where four
large 'superclubs' were formed:

Lom� 1 - amalgamation of Etoile Filante, Mod�le and Dynamic Togolais; later called
         D�ma Club
Lom� 2 - amalgamation of Unisport and Essor
Lom� 3 - amalgamation of Alliance, Freedom Star, Venus and Dragons; later called Edan
Lom� 4 - amalgamation of Racing Club, R�al, Hearts of Oak and US du B�nin

In 1978 these Lom� super clubs were disbanded again, as part of the 'Actualisation'
of the reform.  Most previous clubs resurfaced; in addition Entente 2 were formed 
out of Mod�le (who however resurfaced themselves) and Ny�konakpo�-Kodjoviakop�.

In other towns, the larger structures remained, e.g.:
An�ho          - Gbohlo�-Su (previously called Elavagnon; formed out of Standard (An�ho),
                             USA (Adjido) and others)
Atakpam�       - Ifodj� (formed out of CS Atakpam� and UA Atakpam�)
Kpalim�        - Gomido (formed out of Excelsior, Etoile Filante and Mod�le)
Sansann� Mango - Doumbe

Prior to their 1934 championship in their first ever participation in
a senior championship, Etoile Filante (founded Feb 15, 1933) won the 
1933 'championnat de foot-ball juniors' (apparently the first ever edition).
