After losing all hope of direct qualification to the 2026 World Cup, Burkina Faso is now fighting for a place in the tournament’s qualifiers.

Brama Traoré’s men currently occupy fourth place among the best runners-up with 18 points, ahead of Cameroon (+12) and Uganda (+6) on goal difference (+13).

The goal is two-fold for Burkina Faso: not only do they have to beat Ethiopia, they must also score as many goals as possible to boost their chances of clinching one of the four play-off places.

It is an easy task for the Ethiopian team, which has already been eliminated and occupies fifth place in Group A with 9 points (2 wins, 3 draws, 4 losses).
