Burkina Faso coach Paul Put has named a relatively strong squad which he hopes will do well in Equatorial Guinea for the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations.
After being runners up in the 2013 edition of the Cup of Nations, the ‘Stallions’ hope to go all the way in 2015.
Put has included brothers Alain and Bertrand Traore in the squad. Equatorial Guinea will come with vast memories for Bertrand Traore who featured as a 16 year old for the stallions back in 2012 when they lost all their match at the continental show piece.
Burkina Faso has been drawn in Group A with Equatorial Guinea, Gabon and Congo.
