Togo coach Otto Pfister has included Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor in his 23-man squad for this summer's World Cup.
Togo became the first of the 31 visiting finalists to arrive in Germany when they reached their training base in Wangen on Monday.
The team lost 1-0 on Sunday to Saudia Arabia in a friendly and Pfister said: "We're obviously underdogs.
"But I think we can achieve a thing or two at the World Cup. All our preparations are aimed at the first match against South Korea. If we can win that, every match after that will be like a final for us."
