Friendlies: Burkina Faso learns its two opponents for June (official)

As part of the upcoming international window, Burkina Faso will play two preparatory friendly matches. The Stallions will take on Tunisia on June 2 in Tunis, before locking horns with Zimbabwe on June 6 in Casablanca.

These encounters are part of the fine-tuning phase ahead of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. Against Tunisia, a seasoned force in African football, the Burkinabè will need to show discipline and resilience.

Zimbabwe, currently in a rebuilding phase, will also provide a good test to assess players eager for game time and rhythm.

Brama Traoré aims to spark a positive momentum

Head coach Brama Traoré will use these two matches to refine his tactical choices and observe how his men respond in different situations.

This double-header is part of a drive to reignite a positive dynamic after a mixed Africa Cup of Nations campaign.

The squad list was unveiled this Thursday, May 22, during a press conference in Bobo-Dioulasso. These fixtures are highly anticipated by both supporters and analysts, who are eager to see the potential return of key players and the opportunities given to youngsters from the domestic league.
