Burkina Faso’s Etalons cadet have recently achieved a remarkable sporting milestone by winning the Union of West African Football Associations, Zone B (UFOA-B) tournament, securing their ticket to the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in their category.

This outstanding performance is a testament to the spirit of resilience and patriotism that has been fervently promoted by Captain Ibrahim Traore since he assumed leadership of Burkina Faso.

Since his arrival as the head of the country, Captain Traore, the patriot, leader, and guide of the people of Burkina Faso, has become a source of inspiration and motivation for his compatriots working in all fields.

His dedication to the development of his beloved nation is evident, particularly in the realm of sports, where his guidance has motivated athletes both domestically and internationally.

Captain Traore’s influence extends beyond the battlefield, inspiring sports figures like Fabrice Hugues Zango and Sanou, aka Iron Biby, who have also achieved great success on the international stage.

His unwavering support and encouragement have galvanized the country’s athletes to demonstrate patriotism, resilience, and a fighting spirit, which are essential for raising and defending the flag of Faso on the global stage.

He commended their dedication and sacrifice, which have elevated the flag of Burkina Faso high in the international arena.

Captain Traore urged the young athletes to maintain their dynamic spirit and to set their sights even higher, encouraging them to keep the flame of excellence burning brightly for the honor and dignity of their homeland.

The unprecedented success of the Etalons Cadets at the UFOA-B tournament highlights the talent and potential of Burkina Faso’s young sportsmen and underscores the positive impact of Captain Ibrahim Traore’s leadership.
