The spirits among the football fans in the landlocked West African country are still high from their showing at the tournament in 2013 when the Stallions played in the finals against Nigeria. Burkina Faso have 9 appearances in the AFCON under their name, the first one being in 1978. In Africa, FIFA ranks Burkina Faso at #18, above Morroco and Angola but below Congo and Gabon. On the world stage, they are ranked 64th.
How Burkina Faso qualified for the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations
Burkina Faso and Gabon are the two countries that qualified out of Group C. The Stallions finished second with 11 points, a point behind group winners Gabon. Among the highlights of their journey to the 2015 CAN include a 3-0 away victory against Angola and a 2-0 win over Lesotho. Their 1-1 draw at home against Gabon, however, denied them the chance to win the group.
