Luc Agbala Watékou (23 September 1947 – 18 October 2010) was a Togo international football forward and referee.

Playing career[]

Born in Kandé, Agbala began playing club football for local side Diables Rouges de Lomé, now Dynamic Togolais. He made his first division debut in 1966, scoring a goal in the match. He would lead the Togo league in scoring twice and won the championship with Dynamic Togolais in 1970 and 1971.[1]

In 1972, Agbala moved to France to study physiotherapy. He returned to Togo and played for Lomé I, a fusion of Dynamic Togolais, Etoile Filante de Lomé and Modèle Lomé. He helped the club reach the semi-finals of the 1977 African Cup of Champions Clubs.[2]

Agbala made eleven appearances for the senior Togo national football team and participated in the 1972 African Cup of Nations finals, Togo's first.[3]

Officiating career[]

After he retired from playing football, Agbala took officiating courses and became an international referee. He officiated matches until 1992,[2] including a 1986 World Cup qualifier between Sierra Leone and Morocco.[4] He also was the executive director of the Stade Omnisports de Lomé.[1]
