Rahimo FC has officially declared its third title of champion of Burkina Faso with four days to go until the end of the championship. The Academicians of Bama, led by Peggy Ouédraogo and coached by Boureima Zongo, sealed their domination by beating Real Faso (1-0) thanks to a goal from Aliou Chitou in added time (90+2).
With 59 points after this victory against 44 for USFA (2nd), Rahimo FC succeeds himself and joins an already impressive record: national titles in 2019 and 2025-2026, two Faso Cups in (2019 and 2025) and two Super Cups. A meteoric rise for a club that reached the first division in 2016.
AS Maya and Focusport FC, two new players promoted to Ligue 1
In Ligue 2, the verdict was reached on the last day played on April 20, 2026. Focusport FC, housed in Pool A and AS Maya in Pool B, have officially validated their accession to the first division.
Focusport FC, a young team partner of SL Benfica, won 1-0 against Sahel FC. Champion of his group with 38 points, the club achieved a double climb in only three years of existence: division 3 in division 2 and division 1.
AS Maya of Bobo-Dioulasso is back in the top flight 13 years after being relegated. With 34 points, the Bobolais have shown consistency throughout the season. The two clubs will face off in the final of Ligue 2 to choose the division champion. For their part, KOZAF and USCO (2nd) will go through the play-offs against the 13th and 14th in Ligue 1.
EFO and AS Sonabel in the red zone
With two days to go before the end of Fasofoot Ligue 1, the maintenance race remains intense. After the 28th day, l'Étoile Filante de Ouagadougou (EFO) and AS Sonabel occupy the positions of champions. EFO, 14th with 29 points (-10), failed to take the three points against Sporting FC (0-0). AS Sonabel, 13th with 30 points (-7), lost 2-1 against AS Douanes. Both teams are only three points away from the relegation zone and will absolutely have to react during the last two matches.
The 2025-2026 season enshrines the supremacy of Rahimo FC, the emergence of two new ambitious clubs (Focusport and AS Maya) and a thrilling end of season for several footballers from Burkina Faso. The play-offs between Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 still promise to be very emotional.
Burkinabe football continues to progress with new talent and structured clubs. Appointments for the last two days and the dams.
