The delegation of Mauritania's national football team, the "Mourabitounes", arrived at dawn on Thursday in the Burkinabe capital Ouagadougou to prepare for its match against Burkina Faso in the qualifiers for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations.
The national team will play the match tomorrow, Friday evening, in the third round of the qualifiers, seeking a positive result away from home.
The match carries particular significance, as the Mourabitounes will face their former coach Amir Abdou, who currently coaches the host team.
After this match, the Mourabitounes will return to Nouakchott to host the Burkinabe team next Tuesday in the fourth round of the competition, in the return leg between the two sides.
