Burkina Faso presents Abdou Amir as coach and targets 2027 Africa Cup

Burkina Faso has appointed former Comoros and Mauritania coach Abdou Amir to the men's team and entrusted him with qualifying for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations. The 53-year-old Amir was presented by the president of the Burkinabè Football Federation on Wednesday, ending what the federation described as a “rigorous examination” of candidates to replace Brama Traoré. Traoré was fired in January after the team’s disappointing Africa Cup in Morocco, where the Stallions were knocked out in the round of 16 by Ivory Coast.
