The Sparrow Hawks captain released a statement in which he announced that he would quit the national team, after the Togo football federation failed to pay out match bonuses after a friendly against Morroco last month.
The statement, which was released by Adebayor's public relations officer Amedodji Blaise, read: "Togo international and captain of the Sparrow Hawks Emmanuel Sheyi Adebayor hereby brings to the notice of the general public that he is suspending his international career with Togo team.
"The atmosphere currently prevailing within the Hawks will not help the team achieve its set out objectives."
Togo secured qualification for the continental championship in South Africa after edging out Gabon in the final qualifying round in October.
