Ouagadougou: The Head of State, Captain Ibrahim Traoré, invited the national football team to be more combative and determined, a few hours after a draw conceded to Algeria at the CAN 2023.

‘I send my encouragement to our valiant Stallions engaged in this 34th African Cup of Nations.

To the players and the technical management, I invite more combativeness and determination.

The entire people believe in you for a conquering and victorious ride. Good luck for the rest of the competition! », Wrote President Ibrahim Traoré on Saturday evening on X.

After a victory against Mauritania, Burkina Faso narrowly missed out this Saturday on qualifying for the remainder of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations which is taking place in Ivory Coast.

Indeed, the Stallions were caught in the score in stoppage time against Algeria, while they led by 2 goals to 1.

The team is almost condemned to beat Angola to calmly ensure its qualification for the rest of the competition.
