fake Togo soccer team played Bahrain

This is somehow hilarious:

“LOME, Togo — The Togo team that lost 3-0 to Bahrain in an exhibition last week was ‘completely fake,’ the chairman of Togo’s interim soccer federation told The Associated Press on Tuesday.

‘We have not sent any team of footballers to Bahrain. The players are not known to us.'”
