Bertrand Traoré joins Aristide Bancé in the history of the Stallions!

This Friday, during the match between Burkina Faso and Djibouti (4-1) counting for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, Bertrand Traoré once again shone for the national team.

The 29-year-old winger scored a crucial goal, allowing the Stallions to widen the gap and consolidate their lead. This achievement is particularly special as it allows him to equal the number of goals scored by the illustrious Aristide Bancé for the national team.

With 21 goals for the Burkina Faso jersey, Traoré joins the country's former iconic striker. This long-unreachable record could soon fall if the current Ajax Amsterdam player continues at this pace. Always decisive, he stands out as a major asset for his team.

Bertrand Traoré targets Moumouni Dagano's record

Traoré's performance reflects his consistency and talent. While Bancé is now part of the glorious past of the Stallions, Bertrand Traoré represents the future and the promise of new exploits.

His next target is now Moumouni Dagano, a Burkinabé legend and the country's all-time top scorer with 34 goals.

The talented maestro from Burkina Faso still has many great years ahead to etch his name even higher in the annals of Burkinabé football. The fans, meanwhile, continue to dream of the feats of their idol.
