Togo opens 2026 national Vététré championship with 13 clubs

13 clubs split across three zones will contest a traditional sport whose final round is set for 13 December.

The 2026 national Vététré championship, a traditional and popular discipline in Togo, opens on 15 November. 13 clubs are competing for the title across three geographical zones: Zio, Avé and Grand Lomé.

In the Zio zone, four clubs are entered: Volcan de Gapé Avélébé, Assilassimé de Gamé Nyativé, Dzobibi de Gapé Agokope and Chemin de Dieu de Gapé Kpodji. The Avé zone also has four: Dzobibi de Noèpé, Les Héros de Kovié Gbavé, Dieu Merci d’Ando Agové and Aménouvévé de Koudassi Gare.

The Grand Lomé zone is the largest, with five clubs: Aigle d’Approche, Blague à Part de Madjikpéto, Colombe de Sogbossito, Vainqueur d’Agoè Cacavéli and Wait And See de Légbassito. The final is scheduled for 13 December, after nearly a month of matches.

Why it mattersClubs from all three zones must win enough matches over the month to reach the final on 13 December.
