The Brama Traoré era as head coach of the Burkina Faso national team has abruptly come to an end. The Burkinabe Football Federation (FBF) has decided to terminate Brama Traoré 's duties, along with those of his entire technical staff, causing a real shock in the Burkinabe football scene.

This decision comes amidst a climate of great sporting disappointment , following the premature elimination of the Stallions of Burkina Faso from the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations . Heavily defeated in the round of 16 by Ivory Coast, the Burkinabe team failed to achieve the objectives set before the competition, which aimed for at least a place in the semi-finals.

Arriving at the helm of the Stallions in March 2024, Brama Traoré embodied the choice of local expertise intended to inject new dynamism into the national team. But despite some initial hopes, the 2025 AFCON campaign highlighted tactical and collective shortcomings that ultimately sealed his fate.

Within the sporting public, the sanction was widely expected. Fans, very active on social media after the elimination, expressed their frustration and anger , believing that the team's potential had not been fully realized. The FBF's decision thus appears as a direct response to this national disappointment.

By simultaneously terminating the contracts of the head coach and his entire technical staff, the Federation has marked the end of an era and officially launched a new phase of rebuilding . All eyes are now on the future, with the expectation of a new sporting project capable of restoring the Stallions' confidence and reigniting their ambitions on the African stage.

Burkina Faso now faces a major strategic choice: to reinstate a local coach or entrust the reins of the national team to a foreign manager to inject new life into the sport. One thing is certain: after this resounding dismissal, Burkinabe football is entering a period of decisive turbulence .
