Burkina Faso have issued a formal letter of complaint to the Confederation of African Football (CAF) after they returned five positive COVID-19 antigen tests on the eve of their Africa Cup of Nations opener against hosts Cameroon.
Captain Bertrand Traore has called the situation as a “scandal” and demanded answers from CAF around the organisation of the testing regime, while the Burkina Faso Football Federation (FBF) have alleged mishandling of his side’s pre-match tests.
