Burkina Faso secures second-round spot in Women's AFCON qualifiers with dominant win over Burundi

Burkina Faso has advanced to the second round of the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) qualifiers after an emphatic 4-1 victory over Burundi on Wednesday.

The result, which gave the Stallions Dames a 5-1 aggregate win, ensured their place in the next stage of qualification as they continue their bid for a historic tournament appearance.

Adélle Naomie Kabré shines in commanding performance

Burkina Faso wasted no time asserting their dominance in the return leg, with Adélle Naomie Kabré leading the charge.

The forward was in sensational form, scoring twice in the first half (19′, 44′) to put her side firmly in control before the break.

Burundi, struggling to contain Burkina Faso’s attacking play, failed to mount a meaningful response in the second half.

The Stallions extended their lead in the 63rd minute, when Charlotte Milogo found the back of the net, further dampening any hopes of a comeback for the visitors.

Kabré completed her hat-trick late in the match, sealing a comprehensive victory for the hosts and underlining her crucial role in the team’s qualification campaign.

Next Challenge: A decisive clash against Togo

With their first-round triumph now behind them, Burkina Faso will face Togo in the second round, a decisive two-legged encounter that will determine their fate in the 2026 WAFCON qualifiers.

The Stallions are seeking to qualify for the tournament for the first time, and their strong performance against Burundi will provide a confidence boost heading into the next stage.

A team growing in ambition

Burkina Faso’s women’s team has been steadily improving, and their latest victory highlights the progress they have made on the continental stage.

Their ability to control matches, convert chances, and defend effectively will be key as they prepare for the challenge ahead against Togo.

With momentum on their side, the Stallions will now focus on continuing their strong run and moving one step closer to securing a place at WAFCON 2026.
