Survivors and families of those who perished in the 8th January 2010 Togo national team bus attack are on Tuesday next week set to convene at St Fatima Church of Avedji in Lome.
Ten years ago, the violent attack claimed three lives while seven others, including two Sparrow Hawks players Sege Aakapo and Kadjovi Obilale, were injured.
Bus driver Mario Adjoua, assistant manager Abalo Amelete and media officer Stanislas Ocloo perished in the ambush, with Front for the Liberation of the Enclave of Cabinda rebels taking responsibility for the attack.
Relatives of the victims will hold mass at the Catholic Church in Lome and are also expected to place a wreath of flowers at the cemetery of those who died.
A short documentary will also feature at the memorial to showcase the journey of survivors towards recovery.
In the documentary, victims narrate the events of the fateful day and how it changed their lives forever.
The shooting itself took place few miles from the Angola and Congo-Brazzaville border point as the team were travelling to their training base a few days before their first match of the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations against Ghana.
Togolese FA decided it was impossible to take part in the tournament and pulled out prompting Confederation of Africa Football (CAF) to impose a four-year ban on the team.
The suspension was later lifted following intervention of then FIFA president Sepp Blatter after Togo filed an appeal at Court of Arbitration for Sport.
