TheBurkina Faso national basketball teamis the national basketball team ofBurkina Faso,governed by theFédération Burkinabe de Basketball.[2]

Its main accomplishment was the qualification for the2013 FIBA Africa Championship.

History[edit]

The qualification to theAfroBasket 2013inAbidjan,Ivory Coastremains Burkina Faso's main accomplishment. Since then, the Burkina Faso "Stallions" have attempted to make a comeback. The Burkinabé did not make it through theAfroBasket 2015 qualification.In early 2021, they withdrew from theAfroBasket 2021 qualification.Burkina Faso has often struggled with the strong regional competition from neighbouring countries likeNigeriaandCote d'Ivoirein the African qualifying Zone 3.[3]

The 1.80m (5 ft 11in)Point guardHerve Yaméogohad been team captain for many years. In a 2020 interview, the four-time champions with local side RCK highlighted the presence of Burkinabé national team players who play in Europe likeJean Victor Traore,Joris Badoand also others who play for universities in United States. Yet, he mentioned the failure of others who did not identify with their home nation. Yameogo further stressed the inequality of financial assistance from the government compared to association football. Burkina Faso has thePalais des Sports de Ouaga 2000which hosted theAfroBasket 2013 qualificationand qualification games of theFIBA Africa Basketball League.According to Yaméogo, with better financing, it can host bigger basketball events.[3]
