Frendly: Burkina Faso will not play in France
The Stallions were to face Ivory Coast and Guinea in France
The Stallions of Burkina Faso will play well next November, but their program has been slightly modified. Initially, they were due to face Ivory Coast on November 16 and Guinea four days later in France. But on Saturday, October 1, demonstrators ransacked the French Embassy and Consulate General in Ouagadougou. As a result, France is physically unable to issue visas until further notice. And this concerns at least fifteen people, between the players playing in Burkina Faso, members of the technical and medical staff, or even officials.
After considering playing in Belgium, the Burkinabé Football Federation (FBF)turned to Morocco. Nationals of Burkina Faso do not need visas to enter Moroccan territory. Ivory Coast have agreed to play against Les Etalons in Morocco, in a city to be determined, but Guinea, who could ultimately remain inactive next month, are said to be on the verge of declining. Burkina Faso may therefore have to quickly look for a new opponent, which could also be the case for the Ivorian Elephants. They were also to face Guinea in France. Burundi could be asked to play against the selection coached by Frenchman Jean-Louis Gasset .
