history

The association goes back to a team of students from the Catholic mission school École de la Cathédrale de Lomé , whose leader was Stanislas Segbeaya. A few months later, on February 15, 1933, the cultural and sports association Étoile Filante (French: 'shooting star') was founded. After winning the youth championship in 1933, the club took part in the senior championship and was able to win the championship of the French colony at that time several times . In 1940, Étoile Filante was the first club whose players played in football boots. Before independence, the club won countless smaller cups as well as the Coupe du Togo , the national cup competition, in 1956 and 1958 . From 1955 Togolese clubs took part in the cup competition of the colonial federation of French West Africa (which Togo did not belong to) Coupe d'AOF .

The traditional rivalry with the other club from Lomé, Modèle was then also evident on an intercolonial level: After Modelé narrowly failed in the 1959 Coupe d'AOF final against Saint-Louisienne from Senegal , Étoile Filante won the trophy the following year against Jeanne d 'Arc from Bamako , today Stade Malien , win.

Even after independence, Etoilé Filante achieved further successes after the series of championship titles was broken in the late 1950s and four titles went to city rival Essor de Lomé , the club won four championship titles from 1960 to 1965 (the winner of the championship from 1963 is unknown) and the titles from 1967 and 1968. Étoile Filante also attracted international attention, in 1968/69 the club even reached the final of the African Cup against TP Englebert Mazembe from Lubumbashi , with a 4-1 win in the second leg in Lomé could not make up for the 5-0 defeat in the first leg.

In the sports reform of 1974, the clubs Etoilé, Modèle and Dynamic Togolais , all from Lomé, were merged into one club under the name Lomé 1 or later Déma Club . It was not until 1978 that the reform was partially reversed and from then on Étoile Filante played again as an independent club. In addition to a victory in the championship in 1992 and the cup victory in 1994, there were no other major successes. In a bus accident on November 26, 2011, six members of the team were killed in Gléi. The bus crashed into a ravine and burned down completely, among the dead were the ex-national goalkeeper of Togo's Charles Balogou, the one-time national player Isidore Kouma, who last worked as an assistant coach at the club, club doctor Azianon Gnininvi, the chef Jean Tchapo, the sports presenter and journalist Yolande Améyo Adabra and the managing director Christophe Dagbovi.
