Adewale James Olufade (born 21 August 1994) is a Togolese international footballer who plays for Union Douala as a left back

Career

He has played club football for AC Merlan, Dynamic Togolais, Panthère du Ndé, AS Togo-Port, New Star de Douala and Union Douala.

He made his international debut for Togo in 2018. 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. After that complaint was rejected, in February 2019 the GFF confirmed that CAF would hear their appeal. The appeal was rejected, and the original decision was upheld. In March 2019 GFF appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
