Togo have been eliminated from the 2025 U17 AFCON qualifiers after losing 0-2 to Burkina Faso in the WAFU Zone B tournament on Sunday 19th May, 2024 in Accra.
Despite their efforts, Togo’s lack of finishing in the first half and Burkina Faso’s improved performance in the second half sealed their fate.
The young Stallions’ relentless pressing and cohesive gameplay led to Asharaf Tapsoba’s goal in the 60th minute, which cemented Burkina Faso’s dominance.
A late second goal by Burkina Faso crushed any hopes of a Togolese comeback at the University of Ghana Stadium.
Burkina Faso remains undefeated with 4 points with this win and is close to securing a semi-final spot in the WAFU B U17 tournament.
