Togo's football team has faced major challenges in recent years; with a 2007 helicopter crash and a 2010 ambush attack on the national team bus, their goals were temporarily crushed. Finally, in 2013, Togo was once again included in the Africa Cup of Nations. Togo beat Algeria and tied with Tunisia, qualifying them for the first time in history for the quarterfinals, and triggering massive spontaneous street celebrations. These pictures depict the spontaneous chaos and excitement in the streets of Lome on those nights.
