Burkina Faso faces a challenging journey to Blida for their match against Algeria in the play-offs for the 2014 World Cup. The return match is scheduled for November 19 at the Moustapha Tchaker stadium. Despite their victory in the first leg, the Stallions are well aware that the match in Blida will not be a straightforward affair. In preparation for this crucial encounter against the Fennecs, Burkina Faso has chosen to establish its training base in El Jadida, located in the suburbs of Casablanca, Morocco, before heading to Blida.
Most of the Stallions have already arrived in Morocco since Sunday to undergo a preparatory training course. According to the daily Le Faso, the Belgian coach, Paul Put, was impressed by the facilities at Mazagan Beach Resort in El Jadida and intends to implement a suitable strategy there to counter the aspirations of the Fennecs. The choice of El Jadida is motivated by its similar climatic conditions to Blida and the amenities it offers for effective preparation, as stated by the same source.
