The quarter-final line-up for the 2026 Burkina Faso Cup has been confirmed following a televised draw that set up four knockout ties to be played in early March.
Organisers conducted the ceremony on Monday evening, revealing the matchups for the final eight teams remaining in the national competition.
Supporters now have clarity over the route to the semi-finals, with fixtures scheduled for 7 and 8 March 2026.
In one of the headline pairings, Vitesse FC will meet Rahimo FC in Bobo-Dioulasso. The tie brings together two sides aiming to extend their cup runs in a city known for hosting decisive domestic fixtures.
Both clubs advanced through earlier rounds to secure a place in the quarter-finals, and the encounter is expected to determine one of the competition’s strongest semi-final contenders.
Elsewhere, reigning holders Étoile Filante de Ouagadougou — commonly known as EFO — have been drawn against Sporting Cascades.
As defending champions, EFO enter the tie carrying expectations to continue their title defence, while Sporting Cascades will look to disrupt that ambition and reach the final four.
Another quarter-final will see CFFEB face Majestic SC. The pairing offers both teams an opportunity to progress deep into the tournament, with cup football traditionally rewarding discipline and tactical efficiency.
The final matchup places Real du Faso against ASFB. With a semi-final berth at stake, the tie completes a balanced quarter-final schedule featuring clubs from different competitive backgrounds.
The Burkina Faso Cup remains a central fixture in the domestic football calendar, providing teams with a parallel route to silverware outside league competition.
The quarter-finals represent a pivotal stage, where a single result determines progression and intensifies the pressure on players and coaching staff.
With dates now fixed and opponents confirmed, attention turns to preparation as each club targets a place in the last four.
The early March fixtures promise a decisive chapter in this year’s cup campaign, with momentum and composure likely to prove critical.
