Burkina Faso hosting its AFCON 2025 and World Cup 2026 qualifiers in Côte d'Ivoire? it's likely. Speaking to journalists on Friday March 1, Burkina Faso's Minister of Sport, Boubacar Sawadogo, said that the country would soon be hosting its matches in Côte d'Ivoire, and that it would stop playing in Morocco because it was too expensive.
"On these matches in Morocco, the cost of stadium rental is between 10,000 and 15,000 Euros. The players' plane tickets are relatively cheaper. Hotels are also cheaper than in Lancaster (where the Etalons are based in Burkina Faso). The 300 million francs Ccfa (456 thousand euros) and a few others are incompressible costs (costs that can't be reduced). I want us to play next door because, when we play next door, the players have their supporters", declared the Minister.
