Colonel Rock Gnassingbe is seeking re-election as the head of FTF
The Togo Football Federation (FTF) is set for a complete overhaul with elections set to take place for new members of its executive bureau on 18 January.
The elections will take place because the FTF has been torn apart by fierce infighting and internal squabbles in recent months.
Relations between the FTF's President Tata Avlessi and his vice president Gabriel Ameyi have deteriorated steadily to the point that the country's football league was suspended in 2008.
After extensive consultations with the Togo government, the Togolese Olympic Committee and Confederation of African Football (Caf), Fifa agreed that new elections could be held.
Togo government spokesman, Pascal Bodjona said that Fifa's intervention was made to save the administration from total collapse.
The world governing body of football has set up an independent electoral committee to be chaired by the Ivorian FA President Jacques Anouma.
Avlessi will seek re-election in the contest.
His opponents will be Winny Yao Dogbatse and Colonel Rock Gnassingbe.
Gnassingbe is the brother of the Togolese Head of State, Faure Gnassingbe.
He was president of the Togo Football Federation for more than nine years until 2007.
Dogbatse is the owner of the newly promoted Division One club, Gomido.
