Burkina Faso defender Steeve Yago has voiced his frustration with FIFA and CAF after their points deduction in the best runners-up ranking allowed Nigeria to qualify for the World Cup playoffs ahead of them.
While the outrage is non stop from Burkina Faso, experts have tried to explain the situation in simple words for everyone to understand.
Earlier, Burkina Faso had celebrated their progression for the qualification playoffs after beating Ethiopia 3-1 in their final group game, a day before Nigeria’s win over Benin.
Fans of Burkina Faso have also voiced their displeasure on social media. This X user wrote:
Nigeria will now face Gabon in one of the two semi-finals of the qualification playoffs, while Burkina Faso are left to lick their wounds, and think what could have been.
