This will be the first encounter between Burkina Faso and Mauritania at the CAF Africa Cup of Nations.
Burkina Faso are unbeaten in their last four meetings with Mauritania in all competitions (W2 D2). Mauritania’s last victory was in September 2018, it was a CAF Africa Cup of Nations qualifier (2-0) played on home soil, in Nouakchott.
This is Burkina Faso’s 13th appearance in the CAF Africa Cup of Nations. In their previous 12 participations, they have either been eliminated in the group stages (8 times) or at least reached the semi-finals (4 times), including the final in 2013 (0-1 v Nigeria).
Burkina Faso have never won their opening match at a CAF Africa Cup of Nations tournament (D5 L7).
Burkina Faso have scored in each of their last 14 matches at the CAF Africa Cup of Nations; it’s the longest active streak and second longest in the history of the tournament after Egypt found the net in 27 consecutive matches between 1957 and 1980.
This is Mauritania’s 3rd appearance at the CAF Africa Cup of Nations, all of them taking place since 2019. They have finished bottom of their group in each of their two previous participations.
Mauritania have never won a match at the CAF Africa Cup of Nations (D2 L4). They have also never been ahead at any point in a game at AFCON.
Mauritania’s only goal so far at the CAF Africa Cup of Nations was a penalty by Hacen against Mali in their first ever AFCON match back in 2019. Since then, Mauritania haven’t found the net in 468 minutes of play at the tournament (nearly 8 hours).
Burkina Faso striker Dango Ouattara was directly involved in 63% of his team’s goals during the qualifiers for this year’s CAF Africa Cup of Nations, scoring four and assisting one.
The duo of Aboubakar Kamara and Hemeya Tanjy scored 56% of Mauritania’s goals in the qualifiers for the 2023 CAF Africa Cup of Nations (3 and 2 goals respectively, out of a total of 9 team goals and excluding the goal scored in the game that was later awarded to DR Congo).

BFA is a football country, very coordinated team, their last outing in Africa tournament was impressive, Mauritania on the other are less experience country but who doesn't lose chances to score when they've the opportunity
