Sierra Leone faces Burkina Faso in the 9th round of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers (African Zone). This is a crucial fixture for both squads, each still chasing qualification.

While Egypt seems poised to clinch top spot in Group A, boasting a five-point lead and set to play Djibouti, the Stallions are still targeting a playoff berth.

To achieve this, they must finish among the four best runners-up across the nine groups. With 15 points, they’re well positioned, but above all, must win their final two qualifiers.

On the other side, Sierra Leone (3rd, 12 pts) still hold slim hopes of snatching a playoff spot. Two wins are also a must for the Leone Stars, provided favorable results in other groups.
