Stade de Kégué

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stade de Kégué is a multi-use stadium in Lomé, Togo. It is currently used mostly for football matches. The stadium holds 30,000 people and opened in 2000. The stadium was the main host during an U-17 football tournament in Togo in March 2007. During the tournament, 14 games on the 16th of the CAN Togo, were played in this Kegue.

On 19 October 2007 the Confederation of African Football placed an indefinite ban on the stadium after an African Nations Cup qualifier between Togo and Mali ended in violence which saw Malian players and fans injured.[1]
