Burkina Faso head coach, Brama Traore says he have a rich squad that can make the difference ahead of their return leg against Burundi in Matchday 4 of the AFCON 2025 qualifier at the Felix Houphouet-Boigny Stadium.
The Swallows seized the lead early in the first meeting between the two teams, but their awful defence allowed them to let up four goals and lose out on a share of the points.
Burkina Faso is well-positioned to secure a spot in the tournament in Morocco after winning their first three qualifying matches.
With seven points overall, they are in the lead in Group L. Since taking over in March, head coach Brama Traore of Burkina Faso has had a remarkable impact and has talked about the team’s strength.
He said “We have a conquering team.
“On the offensive side, we are really brilliant. We score enough goals.
“We have a very rich squad and that is what made the difference,” he said.
“It is not easy. It is difficult for everyone. If they [the supporters] came here to Abidjan to support the team, it shows their love for the Burkina Faso flag.
“We will continue to work to put balm in their hearts each time.”
