It seems the author started some articles that are sourced but I can't find any for this one (no stats, official website, club affiliate, etc.) and, at best, may have been short-lived if it ever existed.

Keep - Come on guys, it literally took 2 seconds searching RSSSF to find evidence of the existence of the club and confirmation that they played in the Togolese second division in
2014 (They played in group B and are noted as Espoir FC (Tsevié)). Also references:
here to Espoir playing in the second teir in 2009-11,
here qualifying for the second division playoffs in 2006,
here getting to the 1/8 finals of the Togo cup in 2005,
here getting to the 1/16 finals of the Togo cup in 2002 and playing in the second division.
I'll update the article to reflect this history.
The Togo second division might initially be organised in a group stage, but this is obviously a club that has a reasonable history playing at a not insignificant national level and there are clear references to the club qualifying at least once for the national playoff stages and also playing in the national cup competition on multiple occasions and so it meets general consensus held at
WP:FOOTYN that teams playing in national competitions are notable. Perhaps @
GiantSnowman: might wish to reconsider and if so @
SwisterTwister: withdraw?
