Junior Stallions

Burkina Faso has just won the U17 Africa Cup! 


The U17 team is called the Junior Stallions (Burkina's national team is simply the Stallions). 

The final score of 2 - 1 against in today's match against Rwanda is a huge moment for Burkina Faso. So was the semi-final against the Ivory Coast (Burkina's neighbour and rival when it comes to soccer).

Burkina will be in the U17 World cup in Mexico this June & July as will the other three semi-finalists (Rwanda, Congo Brazzaville and Cote d'Ivoire).
