Government to fight National Cup ban

Togo\'s government will fight the country\'s suspension from the next two Africa Cup of Nations tournaments, after branding their ban \"insulting\".



The Confederation of African Football suspended Togo and fined them $50,000 for withdrawing after a gun attack on the team bus in Angola.



Yesterday, Togo captain Emmanuel Adebayor called the decision \"outrageous\".



Government spokesman Pascal Bodjona did not confirm what action Togo would take.



Two members of Togo\'s delegation were killed in the ambush on January 8, two days before the tournament began.



Following the attack the players were ultimately called home for three days of national mourning by their government.



However, the Confederation of African Football deemed that move amounted to political interference, leading to Saturday\'s sanction.
