2028 Olympic qualifiers (women): Burkina Faso 90 minutes from the third round

Burkina Faso take on Equatorial Guinea on Tuesday at 2 p.m. GMT. The two teams meet at the Amadou Ahidjo Stadium in Yaoundé, Cameroon, for the second-leg match of the second round of qualifying for the women's tournament at the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games.

The Étalons Dames have taken a significant step

Issa Balboné's side won 3-1 in the first leg at the 4 August Stadium in Ouagadougou. The Étalons Dames have put themselves in a strong position to qualify. But caution remains necessary. Equatorial Guinea remain a solid team. They have won 2 Women's Africa Cup of Nations titles and showed their resilience in Ouagadougou despite the defeat.

Issa Balboné: «La Guinée équatoriale est une bonne équipe. Elle est blessée et voudra revenir. Et nous nous préparons également pour celà. Nous sommes ici pour faire un bon résultat », Alimata Belem: «Nous nous portons bien, le moral est au beau fixe et nous sommes pour le match https://t.co/eDPuYbcJqx

Algeria loom in the next round

The winner of this two-leg tie will face the winner of Algeria vs Central African Republic in the third round. The Fennecs ran out 8-0 winners in the first leg and should be Burkina Faso's next opponents should they qualify. The two potential opponents meet at 5 p.m. GMT.
