Emmanuel Adebayor, a former striker for Arsenal and Tottenham, will celebrate his retirement from October 25 to 27 in his hometown of Lomé with a star-studded jubilee. To commemorate the conclusion of his remarkable career, Adebayor has gathered a stellar group of football legends. He will formally hang up his boots on March 21, 2023. The Stade de Kégué will host the event, which is expected to be a remarkable celebration that will include about twenty renowned players from Africa and beyond. The projected guest list includes noteworthy figures like Nwankwo Kanu and Austin Okocha, two legendary Nigerians.

 In honoring Adebayor's commitment to sport, the former Super Eagles players will stand among international luminaries such as Barcelona great Ronaldinho, Arsenal icon Thierry Henry, and former Chelsea star Didier Drogba. Okocha and Kanu, both renowned for their extraordinary leadership and abilities on the field, will give the occasion a unique feel. The fact that they are here with other African football legends like Abedi Pelé and Samuel Eto'o highlights the importance of this jubilee for African football in general as well as for Adebayor specifically.

Adebayor's jubilee will honor a career spanning more than 20 years, during which he made 87 appearances for Togo and scored 32 goals. The former attacker for Arsenal and Real Madrid has had a lasting impact on the game because of his rise through the ranks of elite European teams and his contribution to Togo's historic World Cup victory in 2006.
