Abstract
Sport in general and football in particular has evolved exponentially since its introduction to Africa through settlers. A framework for the expression of different football nations, the African Football Cup of Nations, which is organized every two years, allows the different national teams to measure themselves and evaluate the degree of progress in this discipline. The Burkinabè national football team «Stallons» participates with checkered results in recent years. The objective of this research was to study the factors which explain the instability of the performance of the Stallions during the last three (3) editions of the African Cup of Nations. A qualitative methodological approach made it possible to investigate with 30 people made up of players, technical staff, executives from the Ministry of Sports and Leisure, federal members, sports journalists and supporters. The results obtained show that the Stallions have quality players and have encountered opponents of a somewhat high level. It also appears that poor management of the workforce caused the poor results. There is a need for reorganization and rejuvenation of the national team.
