“Thank you to the President of the transition, his Excellency Ibrahim Traoré for his audience, to the Minister of Sports in Burkina, and to the President of the Burkinabe Federation, Lazare Banssé, who invited me to this beautiful celebration of Burkinabe football, We love this Africa!” Eto’o wrote on his social media pages.
