AFCON 2025: « Burkina Faso will win the AFCON », declares Georgi Minoungou of Burkina Faso

Just days before the kickoff of the 2025 AFCON, Georgi Minoungou, the young Seattle Sounders striker, expresses his confidence. Having truly burst onto the scene at the Club World Cup last July, the 23-year-old Burkinabé player is determined to lead his team to victory in this continental tournament.

« Burkina Faso will win the AFCON. Like any striker, you have to score more goals to help the team win. I’m working to be more decisive, more efficient. I’m a one-on-one player, I create a lot of chances, but I want to add more assists and be more clinical in front of goal », said Georgi Minoungou.

With these words, the Seattle Sounders MLS player sums up his ambitions. It's clear he already dreams of winning the most prestigious continental competition with Burkina Faso. And he knows what he has to do to achieve that.

Burkina Faso will face Algeria, Sudan, and Equatorial Guinea in the first round of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. While the Fennecs are considered favorites in their group, and perhaps even in the tournament, Georgi Minoungou remains calm.
