Burkina Faso has received a major boost ahead of upcoming international fixtures as the Confederation of African Football (CAF) has officially reinstated the August 4 Stadium in Ouagadougou for international competition.
The iconic venue had been unavailable for the past four years due to concerns over its facilities and infrastructure, forcing the Burkinabè national team to play home matches in alternative stadiums across the region.
CAF’s decision follows significant renovation works to upgrade the stadium to meet required standards, including improvements to the pitch, seating, lighting, and security systems.
The news means that the Burkina Faso national team could finally return to their preferred home ground as early as the next international break, much to the delight of players, officials, and fans alike.
A return to the August 4 Stadium is expected to provide the Stallions with a significant home advantage, given the passionate support they typically enjoy in Ouagadougou.
