Adewale James Olufade (born 21 August 1994) is a Togolese international footballer who plays for Union Douala as a left back
Career
[edit]He has played club football for AC Merlan, Dynamic Togolais, Panthère du Ndé, AS Togo-Port, New Star de Douala and Union Douala.[1]
He made his international debut for Togo in 2018.[1] In October 2018 the Gambian Football Federation (GFF) complained to the Confederation of African Football (CAF) about Olufade, alleging that he was Nigerian and ineligible to play for Togo; the claims were denied by the Togolese Football Federation.[2] After that complaint was rejected, in February 2019 the GFF confirmed that CAF would hear their appeal.[3] The appeal was rejected, and the original decision was upheld.[4] In March 2019 GFF appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.[5]
