Burkina Faso: Focusport make perfect start to their Ligue 1 adventure

In their first appearance in Burkina Faso's top-flight football, Focusport FC made a strong impression. The promoted club won their first match 1-0 in Fasofoot Ligue 1 on September 18 against AS Douanes.

A historic victory in Ziniaré

The 2026-2027 Fasofoot Ligue 1 season began on September 18, 2026. For their top-flight debut, Focusport FC hosted AS Douanes at the Ziniaré municipal stadium. The Eagles lived up to their billing and secured a 1-0 victory.

The only goal of the match was scored by Kinda Adama , who thus became the first goalscorer in the club's history in the top division.

From the third division to Ligue 1

This success illustrates Focusport FC's spectacular progress. In the space of two years, the club has risen from the third division to the top flight. Boudo Mory's men are confirming the ambition of a solid project backed by a partnership with Benfica Lisbon. This first victory sets the tone and shows that the promoted club do not intend to simply make up the numbers this season.
