Burkina Faso head coach Issa Balboné has named a 25-man squad for the 2024 TotalEnergies African Nations Championship (CHAN) as the Stallions prepare to take on hosts Tanzania in the tournament’s opening match on August 2 at the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium in Dar es Salaam.
The West Africans are hoping to get off to a fast start in a challenging group that includes Algeria, South Africa, Uganda, and Niger. They will be stationed in Tanzania for the competition’s group stage, which is being co-hosted by Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania.
AS Sonabel leads club representation with four players, reflecting their strong domestic performances, while Majestic SC, ASFB, USFA, and Rahimo FC each contribute three players to the squad.
Burkina Faso, who have a well-balanced mix of young and seasoned players, are keen to get past the group stage and leave a lasting impression at CHAN 2024, a competition that is only open to players competing in their home leagues.
The squad includes notable talents such as Sanou Ladji (AS Sonabel), Belem Enock (Majestic SC), and Barro Cédric (Rahimo FC), who are expected to play key roles in the campaign.
