The team has since played just one match. In 2007, the team competed at the held in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. There, Togo was paired with Mali and Ivory Coast on Pool B.

The team was expected to participate in the 2010 African Women's Championship and was scheduled to play against Mali but withdrew before the competition started.[9] The same occurred in the 2016 Africa Women Cup of Nations qualification process, where Togo was drawn with Algeria, but withdrew before playing any game.

The country had 380 registered players in 2006, up from 180 in 2000.[4] Women's football was first organised in the country in 2000.[12] By 2006, there were 105 football clubs in Togo, 11 of which were for women only.[4] A national women's competition was created by 2006 and was still operating in 2009.[4][12] While there are no school, university or regional competitions for women's football, there was an active under-17 women's league in 2009.[12][13] In 2010, a women's football competition involving 50 women's teams was organised by the German embassy, which provided teams with football kits and footballs.[14][15][16]
