For his first call-up with the Togo national team in the qualifiers for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations, Henri Koudoussou is preparing for this major event with overflowing energy and deep emotion.
The defender expresses his pride in finally wearing the national colors, supported by the warm welcome he has received both within the team and in the streets of Lomé. For him, donning the Togolese jersey goes beyond sport and holds profound personal significance.
“I appreciate being here. It’s a real pleasure to meet the group, and I am honored to represent the country. I feel the energy in the streets, just as I do within the team. I really want to be part of this. It was time. I wanted to play for the country and for my father. I am very proud of that. I want to help the team, give my best, and contribute to our qualification for the Africa Cup of Nations.”
Determined to integrate quickly, Henri Koudoussou is ready to face the demands of both home and away matches. Aware of the importance of supporters for the match this Friday, he sends a powerful message to the public.
“Away matches are always tough. I am new to the squad and I have never played away with the national team. So, it will be a new experience for me. But we will make this trip together, as a team, with the goal of achieving the best possible result. I hope you will be there to support us this Friday. We need each of you in the stadium. Your energy is crucial for us to give ours on the field. I really hope to see you in large numbers.”
