Burkina Faso Stallions: Mohamed Ali Zouma hesitates
The coach of Burkina Faso’s Stallions has confirmed that he met with Mohamed Ali Zouma, the player eligible to represent three different countries. Amir Abdou is working to convince the Nürnberg striker to choose to play for Burkina Faso.
He said: “I met Zouma. He’s a smart young man who has the opportunity to play for several national teams. He holds Italian, Ivorian, and Burkinabè citizenship. I explained to him that Burkina Faso really needs him. He listened to me carefully. We shouldn’t pressure him. I hope he makes his decision soon.”
For now, Mohamed Ali Zouma is stalling, hesitating before making his final choice between Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast, and Italy. In his first season in Germany’s second division, the "2. Bundesliga," he scored 14 goals and provided 4 assists in 29 matches.
